Ms Fran & Capn Rod : 12/20/16 Tuesday

This was our last day here in Titusville!!! It's been a fun week but we are ready to head on South!! We completed a last minute check of the motors this morning and Rod found a starter that appears to be failing periodically!! AND a battery that it not wanting to charge!! Soooo off comes this starter (this thing weighs 85lbs) and off to the Napa Store he goes with this thing strapped on the back of his bike with a bungee cord!!! They have a guy there that will check it out and see what needs to be repaired! It's old so you never know!!
When he got back to the boat Paula and Jim were here, so off we all went to first eat lunch! EL Leonitico our favorite Mexican restaurant. It's Taco Tuesday!!! Along with Peach Margaritas!
Then for last minute shopping at Walmart and Lowes. On the way back to the marina we stop at the Napa store and retreave the rebuilt starter and decide to go ahead and purchase a new battery that Rod is pretty sure needs replacing!
We all come to the boat, unload our groceries and 85 lb starter, and we have Christmas!!!!!!
Jim gave Rod a much needed new pair of Levi's, 5lbs of Pistachios, and big bag that you put all you gun stuff in when you go to the shooting range and a fun pair of Christmas socks!!!
Paula gave me a beautiful new pillow for my couch, it's lime green and it has a beautiful blue bird on the front. I have a pic to post, a lg can of cashews, and a kitchen set of small cups for dips and dressings!!
The rest of the afternoon was putting in that 200 lb battery, and the 85 lb starter!!! HEAVY STUFF!!
Rod will feel this tomorrow!!!
Snacked and ate leftovers from lunch, got everything ready to pull out of here tomorrow morning. Praying the wind dies down a little. We are in a small tight boat slip and have a boat next to us like 2ft between us!! It will be tricky!!
Pray for our travel, and the health of our boat!!!
I can't believe Christmas is 5 days away!! We hope to be in Key Largo!!
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Capn Rod
