So Very Close

Tiger Point Marina, N30 41.50 W081 27.25

(6/6/05) The water pump came today. The last project before we launch. After installation, the engine didn’t start. There is air in the fuel lines. No problem, the diesel mechanic set out to bleed the fuel pump once more. Alas, he broke off the bleed screw, disabling everything. Can’t obtain a replacement till tomorrow.

Despite that problem, we launched Tarwathie anyhow. She’s back in the water albeit at the marina.

More good news. We sold the house by accepting an offer today. We got a full-price unconditional cash deal in less than 7 days on the market. Pricing right for quick sale was the right thing to do for us. Attention WCFD, the new owner Jason Nemec is in his 30s, and able bodied. He grew up nearby on Maple Avenue so he knows about country living.
