May 13 started out really bad and ended up pretty good

This morning we started our search for a new mechanic. By 10:00 after a couple of phone calls by helpers we had our mechanic back and the parts in our rental car headed for St Petersburg.

We got there and talked to Doug Dykens who works for Yanmar's distributor in Florida. He said that he could get the job done but we would almost certainly be best off with a new turbo. Doug then said that if the source of the water could be found and it was not mechanical it may be covered by insurance.

I then talked to the claims gentleman at or insurance broker who said it could be covered but we would have to know where the water was coming from.

We have stayed in Clearwater and will go back to Mastry Engine Center to take some pictures tomorrow. After that we will go back to the boat. We have two dogs with us and that is one too many for Red Roof Inns. We have stayed at a Holiday Inn where the cost of the dogs is twice the price of the room at Red Roof. Also we reLized we could not eat lunch in a restaurant with the dogs. Just too many problems created by Bella and Lexie to enjoy a road trip.
