Sitting on the beds and watching TV and getting ready to fly to States. Such mixed emotions...we are ready to see everyone, but a little concerned about all the driving. We haven't done a lot of driving lately.
We day before we left the Rio we wanted to run the engine and fully charge up the batteries. Much to our dismay...yes there was talk of scuttling the boat, we discovered the the fuel tank was full of water! How did that happen you ask? It appears the the deck mounted fill port was not quite closed and with all the rain that we have had it virtually rained right into the tank.
Michael spend until 2am polishing the fuel and getting the water out. At 5:30 am on the day we were to leave we finally got the engine running!! We couldn't leave the engine with water in it so we were very relieved that it all worked out.
So now our bags are packed and were ready to go and we are looking forward to seeing friends and family and the USA. We hope to add pictures along the way so stay tuned.
