Today the Cummins mechanic is coming so Barb & Ricki decided that they should go shopping in order to stay out of the way. They borrowed Huen's truck and took off for the mall at 10 a.m. and the mechanic showed up about 5 minutes later. Apparently the worm gear inside the injector pump has decided to crash so the pump had to be removed and sent to a shop that specializes in tearing them down. It will be about a week before it comes back which creates a problem .... we can't move the boat for pump outs! We will need a new plan!
Huen has purchased a 47 foot Maxum cruiser which is across the walkway from his old boat which makes transferring his stuff pretty easy. The new boat has lots of canvas and windows to find out where they all go so Skip is shown helping him install them. 
Since the girls have gone shopping, the 4 guys (Skip, Ken, Huen & me) decided to go to the Tikki Bar for lunch. Of course the short walk back had to be on the beach to check the tide. Now that spring break is over there is very little there to waste pictures on so there aren't any. When the ladies go back from shopping, Jessica (Huen's hired first mate) was coming in with 2 dock carts of stuff she had bought for his new boat. Jessica has served as a steward on many private yachts and will be a big help for Huen when he leaves with us in May. Docktails was on Ken's boat.

Here is Ricki and Linda ...
Ken, Bob and me ....
Linda and Huen .... 
Randy and his first mate, Linda ....
We ordered pizza for all 8 of us and Ken left to pick it up ... without any money in his pocket! A phone call back to the boat produced Skip's credit card to cover his absent cash.
Don't have any idea what tomorrow will offer since the weather here has been a little unpredictable. It was a little over 90 degrees today and we did miss all the storms that hit just a few miles north and I think the same is predicted for tomorrow with a beautiful weekend coming.
