Well I have been giving the Admiral hell for taking too many underwater pictures on the blog....there are other things happening her on Roatan. So what does she post on her last post....a picture of Hugo's bottom....yes it needs cleaning....Joyce went on a 2 tank dive down at the West end on one of the Fantasy Islands boats (she was gone all day.) I had good intentions about getting some things done while she was gone. Started the generator, need this because the dishwasher and washing machine both need 50 hz.....damn frenchie thing. Was settling down watching Fox news( we fixed the cable and now get 60 channels.(55 in Spanish) Jim , friend and Dock-master knocks on the hull saying we are heeling to port....am I taking on water.......I check the engine room...nope....then we realize the wind has shifted to the west.....almost never happens.....so we adjust some lines and decided to move the boat today (we just finished ...now cooling off with a beer) Just as Jim and I finished the generator shut down.....damn....not the water pump impeller....checked things....out of fuel....have had some diesel fuel in the water from time to time, blamed it on the dive boats.....well not sure now.....don't have a drop in the tank...checked it with the dip stick....so now have to get some fuel to finish the wash....and see if indeed we are are the leaker.....we have been using the washer and dishwasher ever day or so ....could have use it all up.....have not been checking ...my fault....Was able to get the fridge light to work.....switch failed 2 months ago.....tried to fix......so now we know "Does the light stay on when you shut the fridge door?" Answer...YES this on stays on.
We have been going out to dinner with Jim and Norma every Sunday to a sports bar......over 100 steps to get up there....and the same amount down after a few beers....elevator is broken...we decided to go to a different (pricier) place this last Sunday. A couple that had just came in the day before after a nasty trip from Mexico....so bad everything aboard was wet.. They sent everything out with Steven the laundry guy and took a room at the hotel.We invited them along for dinner. Seems the restaurant was one of the more $$$$ on the island. A good time was had by all, except when the bill came Cici and Cyrus broke all the cruiser rules and insisted on picking up the bill...a big no no in the cruising world. So Monday I made PIZZA for all.....not to be out done Cici cooked ravioli with pesto and a Caesar salad....outstanding....they are flying home today....will miss them..
Mizzen.is now 4 months old...supposed to e a kitten, but bigger than most cats I have ever had. She doing well on her potty training. She is on the orange ring...just have the green to go and we will have a cat that uses the head rather than the litter box. Pretty cool....
Joyce did not go diving today so no pictures for now.
