Peaks and Troughs

This whole processes has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Every step wrought with doubts, every decision second guessed. It seems yesterday was a team low however. With five people, usually there is someone up, but with Lisa and Leslie a day or so away from leaving they are buried in everything we are leaving behind,  Carl being mired in work until the bitter end, and Andy and I getting caught up in the mountain of work ahead, yesterday was awful all around. But things turn quickly, and despite all of our wallowing we all managed to keep moving forward. 

The engine is getting a top end rebuild and we got it all disassembled on Friday. Stu, our mechanic, has taken the head, injectors, and various other parts off to be thoroughly rejuvenated. Stu has high hopes for our engine. He thinks it looks pretty good and should run significantly better after this bit of attention we are giving it. 

lookin good

off to the machine shop

Stu in all his glory

Andy in the thick of it

Andy spent a good portion of the day crawling around the bowels of the boat removing the old propane lines. We should have our new system this week and are getting closer and closer to actually having a hot homemade meal. We'll see on that one though.

We did get to go check out a surf competition at the infamous Rincon point just north of our marina. It was cool to see first hand and the announcers were ridiculous.  They were constantly harassing a wave skier who was near the competition area. 

Rincon point, the actaul surf is up around the point, don't judge
