We have had some problems as usual. On Wednesday our water in the fuel alarm went off. At Loggerhead I checked the Racor filter, no water or at least very little. Thursday we went on to Fort Pierce with a delay. We stopped in Stuart for 2.5 hours trying to get someone to look at our problem. Finally Shearwater Marine said they would help a stranded transient in 2 or 3 weeks.
We headed north. In Fort Pierce I checked the secondary filter, no water. On Friday we left late to go under the Fort Pierce Bridge with low water. With a late start we only went to Vero Beach arriving in time to catch the free bus to the shopping. I went to West Marine to get a new life ring lost in Black Point and Trish and Kelly went to Publix to grocery shop. We caught the next bus and where back on the boat by 5:00.
The next day was perfect so we did a long trip to Titusville skipping The Eau Gallie Yacht Club. We anchored out in Titusville and gat off early Sunday. About 10 or 11 miles out the engine stopped. I had checked the diesel before we left and the gage showed about a third of a tank, but we stopped.
I had gotten Boattow US insurance so a very nice man maned Tim came and towed us to Sea Love Marina just South of Daytona.
Nic got on the boat Monday morning and checked for water in the fuel. He found nothing. Why had we stopped, simple we were out og dieesel, the gage was wrong. We left Sea Love thing that everything might be fine. An hour out on our way to Daytona the alarm started again.
When we go to Loggerhead Daytona we called Al of Al' Mobile Marine. He may install a new instructment panel if he feels it necessary.
It is 11:30 Tuesday May 5th and we are headed for Marineland Marina. By the end of the day even with our problems we will have covered about 300 miles. Not knotical miles but statue miles.
