The Adventure always continues...

This is the Blog of the Sailing Vessel Felix. Felix has been sold, so I probably won't update the blog much more, just leave it here for posterity and start another one. This blog was primarily the record of our trip from North Lake Worth, Florida up to the Chesapeake Bay and our summer there before moving back to Florida. Because Blogger won't let me rearrange the posts into chronological order, it has to be this 'latest post first' format, here is the link to the beginning of the journey . You'll just have to select the posts by month and read in reverse order. I hope you enjoy, and I'll post up the new blog here whenever and wherever it begins. Thanks

Of course with 5-10 knot winds you can anchor almost anywhere and be comfortable, but fate has decided to float us here where there's not another boat in site except for those travelling down the ICW . As usual, the only waves are coming from the big powerboats. Star made a great Cornish Game Hen dinner last night and we tried to take our minds off of our engine issues, saving them until this morning. Up with the sun bright and early I started work on the coolant leak, working here in field conditions with Star yelling down to me whenever a big wake is approaching. The fitting is on the exhaust manifold after the waterpump , and the only way to remove and work on it is to loosen the alternator, remove the alternator/water pump belt, unbolt the water pump and starter, and pull the pump out. I did this, and found that the little rubber bushing had folded back. I set it straight...
