just me left

So I hurried to get things done so I could also get going. The weather was good. In my big hurry to get going I made a novice mistake. I installed a piece on the engine I didn't trust. I made it just out of the marina and had to be towed back.

  As I sat and pondered the mistake I realized how hard I had been pushing. I was no where near well enough for a long trip south. I had given it a good run but my body was not well enough and I was still taking some pain meds to get through the day. After some thought and a conference with a friend, it was determined that I could stay on boat through winter and get engine done(I know how to build my own) or go house sit for him in Thompson Falls, Mt.  So Mary Lee came out of water.
