Drop off the car and pick up Rick

I'm up in Ft Pierce to drop off my car for storage while I'm in the Bahamas.  I pick up Cousin Rick at MIA tomorrow night, so i'll rent a vehicle to drive back down to Marathon in.  There are just a couple of quick chores to do on the boat and then we can depart.  Depart when the weather cooperates.  Currently there appears to be a Norther blowing through, so probably it's Monday night for a departure.

 The oil change Monday.

I was way off into the oil changes on both my generator and the Perkins engine when my phone rang.  The crew of Hona-Lee called to request help.  As fate would have it, the Hona-Lee was moving into the mooring field and onto the ball directly beside me.  (the 3 kids from Panama with NO engine)  Turns out they were going to side tie their dinghy and power in with that.  It was a nice calm day with about a 3 knot breeze so they managed the ordeal with no challenges, but i was prepared to assist as needed.

Afterward much improved spirits and some actual spirits were included.

The next day I gave Aluis a ride to north Miami.  (left)

Today i stopped by the Pierced Cider House in Ft. Pierce to visit with my friends.
