| I don’t want to know this! That’s just the average winds, the gusts are much higher. |
Well, we had planned on staying in Key Largo to wait out the bad weather and it surely did come. It was nothing but rain all day long with gusting winds. Just a miserable day in the Keys. It was tough to find a slice of time without rain for Hoolie relief.

The docks here are very protected with two story condos on either side of the canal. That doesn’t stop the wind from howling and the boat moving about. It also doesn’t stop things from failing on Fleetwing. Today it was the hot water heater. It started having a leak in one corner. I saw no future in that, I saw no way to get at the leak which was buried behind the sheet metal sides. Besides, it’s 20 years old, time for a redo.
The next challenge was finding a replacement. There were horror stories about back orders due to supply line constraints but luckily, I found a replacement in, of all places, at Westmarine. So it’s now on order for delivery in one to two days. We’re leaving Friday so Thursday is the second day. Now it’s wait and see if the replacement can find its way to Key Largo.
Such is fun on a boat! If it doesn’t arrive Thursday, we’re not waiting around. We are going to leave Friday for points north, we’ll see what transpires.
