We chose to take the part with us and ride through town in hopes we could find a place possibly open on Saturady morning. And guess what!!!! WE DID!!!!
Matt Cottell was in his shop doing some catch up work and was very willing to help us out!!! It took him about 30 minutes and the part was welded!!! Now Rod gets to do the carving on it to make it fit!!
We stopped at Arby's and had a quick bite to eat. Then started back toward the Marina. Mind you this has been a 6 mile ride!!!! So that means a 12 mile total bike ride! On the way back we decided to stop at the Key Largo Stone Crab and Seafood festival. It looked like 3000 people were in the park. It was probably a couple of acres big. Lots of food of course, few rides for the kids and many many many tents of stuff for sale!!! We only indulged in a large mug of lemonade and walked around the booths and made a purchase of some cup coozies!!
We were tired so we headed back to the boat, as we still had a couple of miles yet to go to get to the boat. Traffic was horrendous!!! It made us really glad we were on a bike path!!! This whole island has an entire street just for bikes only!! SWEET!!!
We arrived home, rested for a while and Rod went to work on the generator part!! In no time at all it was running like a new one!!!! YEAH!!!
We had leftover hotdogs and chips for dinner and Rod got to fish a little, then we watched the fireworks out over the water from the festival today!! A great treat to end the day!!
Dishes done, shower taken, jammies on an ready for one last day here in Key Largo!!! We have paid for dockage here till Monday morning.
It's been a beautiful day high 70s most of the day!!! What a wonderful way to spend the winter!
Love to all, Fran & Capn Rod
