another day in paradise

For todays picture I chose a sunset. It was the best part of the day. All my chores were done for the day and I was relaxing. It was another gorgeous sunset.

For a status update, I fixed the port engine today. It took a bit of fixing. I replaced the alternator about four times and didn't have much luck. Then I replaced the alternator belt. That worked great, but I looked down in the engine compartment and I found I had oil leaking all over the place. That is bad. I could not think of what I had done to the engine to explain the oil all over the place. After about one hour of trouble shooting I found the problem and it wasn't as bad as I thought. The oil pressure sensor had a leak in it. This cost me 4.00 dollars to fix but before I found that I was definitely worried.
The starboard engine needs a new solenoid . When you turn the key the starter just  winds. I have a starter and solenoid  on order and it will be here tomorrow. So I should have two working engines by tomorrow evening.
That lighting strike really took a tole.
That's all for today.
Oh, we did get a soda stream and what a great addition to the boat.
