Florida!!

Yesterday, we anchored at Daytona Beach and got an early morning start south. Thirty minutes out, the over-temperature alarm went off as the engine water temperature climbed over 200 deg. That will get your attention!

We dropped anchor and investigated the problem. Pam hooked up a hose to the salt water washdown hose and we blew out the raw water through hull. That dislodged whatever was clogging it and we had water flow to the engine again. After a 90 minute delay, we raised anchor and continue south to Cocoa.

We are now in Cocoa Village Marina in Cocoa, FL. Today we are renting a car and driving across to Naples to share Thanksgiving with John' mother Nancy and aunt Jean.
