| A fish cleaning station in Key Largo - guess who’s very interested in that action? |
They were cleaning fish today that were caught on the many fishing boats that populate the area. In Key West, the pelicans and tarpons come by for a snack but in Key Largo, they have a different customer. They are long and sleek, sharks! They swim lazily back and forth, unchallenged by any other creature, almost hypnotic.

| Looks like the sharks are interested!! |
The news of the day was the delivery of our new water heater. It was ordered in time to arrive yesterday but it sat in warehouse for 24 hours before being shipped - and I was paying for 1 day air. Of course, they didn’t count the 24 hours of idle time in their equation of 1 day air.

| The technician came at 7:30! |
It finally arrived in Key Largo at 5:00 pm today and now the challenge was to find someone to install it. I turned to my friend Brett Roach, the marine specialist that organized the repair of Fleetwing last year. He came up with a technician that had just finished installed a water heater on another boat this afternoon. Brett understood my urgency and convinced the technician to work past his quitting time to install my unit. He’s still hard at work as I write this at 8:25 pm.
A by product of not having hot water is also not having any water at all - since the water heater was leaking when pressurized so we had to turn off all water pressure to avoid filling up the bilges. It will be nice to have pressurized water again as well as hot water for showers!
