We previously mentioned that we have had some stressful moments. Today’s foto reflects 2 shiny, new parts on Tadpole’s engine. The one at the top is a fuel selenoid. When this fails, the engine shuts down due to lack of fuel, and Boat US tows you back to port. Such happened to us. The lower shiny new part is the oil pressure sender. One’s heart stops when this part fails, and the oil gauges indicate no oil pressure. We are happy to report that these issues have been successfully resolved.

    PS- We goofed - I think we posted this on the wrong date the first time. We need to take a computer course!

    And what a Journey! Hope you don't have anymore engine problems.
    It's so great that you can meet up with Tracey and on Mother's Day. I miss not being with my children on that day.
    So soon you'll be in Georgia. Where will y ou be going through GA that is close to Murphy? If it's not too far, maybe we could meet you.

    Tiki, it's a good thing you took that computer class because you're really doing a good job in your Blog. I think maybe I need to take a course, but of course I don't have anything interesting to post as you.
    It's unbelieveable what you're doing. What an adventure! It's so nice to know where you are at each day. Again, call us if you're anywhere near Murphy so we can meet.
