So where is my part?
Today was the day I expected to get take delivery of the new
voltage regulator the Ken bought online, but after numerous frustrating checks
of the three offices at this marina where mail can wind up, I am left with a
USPS tracking number which says it was delivered to “Parcel Locker” in Grand
Rivers, the local municipality. I can
only now assume, after hours, that this refers to the local post Officer, open
10 AM to 2 PM. Ugh! I am going out there tomorrow morning and see
what they know. This evening, while Mary
and I were in Eddyville and a so-so quality catfish restaurant, Mike Sullivan called
to report that the mechanics will have all the contaminated fuel pumped from
his starboard tank after which he wants me to conn his boat over to the fuel
pier on its on remaining engine and bow thruster where we will put a hundred
gallons of diesel fuel into the 200-gallon tank t balance the boat out with the
100 gallons already in the port tank.
Then the mechanics are going to try to restart the starboard engine
after which I wll take the boat back to its transient slip, hopefully with two
engines to maneuver with.
