Night in Marathon

We watched the Colts win yesterday at Cavanaugh's place.  Now we're trying to plan where we're going to watch the Super Bowl.  Cavanaughs will be up near Marco then, but we're so dependent on the weather, we can't plan that far ahead.  There's no TV signal here in the harbor, but we could join the folks from Kokomo, Greenwood, Southport, etc at the Hurricane.  We'll wait and see.  As a matter of fact, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to leave here.  The temp here is 80 in the day, and 70 at night.  Every day.

We've had to find our way back to the boat after dark several nights.  Navigate by the stars.  About 85% of the boats here are sailboats.  Boats are required to display an anchor light in the harbor--even on moorings.  So when you look around there's almost 200 sailboats with an anchor light at the top of their mast.  Good thing I quit drinking--there's "stars" everywhere.  I tried to take a night photo but the subject "stars" kept moving. 

Steve's still having trouble with his new outboard.  I found water in the gas, so we pumped out his tank--about 30 gallons.  Put fresh fuel in, but it still won't run fast.  Runs great slow, but will not run above idle.  Mercury Optimax 115 hp.  I may look for ideas on the internet.  I think he's going to visit a Mercury dealer today.  He's in Florida for another month, and would like to have it running.  (Me too--he takes me out fishing.)

We're doing boat projects today.  Cleaning up, running the generator to charge the batteries.  Probably bring out more water.  And also very important..................Monday is the day the pump out boat comes to our row in the mooring field.  They pump out every boat in the harbor once a week.  That's about our limit.  The weekly pump out is free (included with your mooring fee)  and if needed, you can go in and be pumped out at the marina for $5.
