Well it is Tuesday and before I explain everything that can happen on a Tuesday I think I should show you all what the water looks like down here.
This is just the water when we were coming into Tavernier.

This picture really doesn't do it justice.

Yesterday we had a thunderstorm storm move through. I was on the boat with the dogs.
We had a thunderbolt hit within 200 yards. That got the dogs attention and mine too.
It also seemed to fry a circuit breaker on the starboard engine. I fixed the circuit breaker today but that didn't totally fix the problem. Now when I kick the engine on we just get the starter winding up but it doesn't engage the engine. I think I need to check the solenoid. I will do that tomorrow-its been a long day.
Also the port engine was making a sound like the belt was squeaking.  Since the tac never came on until the squeaking went away I figured the alternator had to be bad. But we changed alternators today and it still makes that noise. I will have to work to figure that out.
All in all it wasn't a good day, but tonight I am just going to concentrate on a rum punch.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
