We got the dinghy engine on, put it in the water and took it for a spin. Taylor wasn't so sure about it but I think she will get used to it. Well, she will have to or she'll be stuck on the boat all the time. Wes was in heaven and I think it met all of his expectations. No more dinghy envy for him-YAY!
They are making progress on the engines but not as quickly as we would like of course. They just have the mufflers to finish then hopefully we can get it in the water and see if they run. We're getting close so that's good. Wes and I are getting a lot of other things done on the boat while they work on the engines. A lot of things aren't working after sitting for 9 years.
It was crazy this morning because while we were driving out to Taylors Island (where the boat is), which is about 17 miles from Cambridge, (where we are staying) you can see when the tide is out or in by looking at certain sections close to the water. But this morning it looked like the tide was way in and the water was up to the road and up to people's houses. Come to find out after talking to John (the marina owner), hurricane Imelda was causing the tide to be higher than normal.
