Well, we last left you on the day we arrived back in Delray. Needless to say we were pleased to be back in sunny warm weather. That evening we had time to freshen up when we received the phone call Mike and Janet would be picking us up around six that evening. Mario and Marsha invited us all over for a dinner, to renew friendships and catch up on one another. It was a delightful evening. We had a wonderful meal, great conversation and we're hoping that we'll all keep in touch.
The next few days we did some final preparations for the next leg of our trip. Dick replaced the air filter on his engine, checked all the strainers, his Racor filters, and replaced the pressure switch on the saltwater washdown. the Summer Wind was good to go,,, hmmmmm.
The next day the temps went up to about 86 degrees and started to rain. So, we closed the doors and turned on the air conditioner. Lo and behold, trouble! It was not working properly and shut itself off within a matter of minutes. Suffice it to say, Dick was a littled p***ed! So we left a message for the air conditioning guy that replaced the air condenser in Fort Lauderdale and he was out the next day. Sure enough he found another leak, not in the new condenser but in the evaporator itself. Big decision now, so here we are sitting a little south of Delray Beach heading back to Fort Lauderdale and waiting for a new evaporator to come from the factory. We were supposed to leave today for the westcoast of Florida but now we'll be delayed for approximately two weeks. Guess what folks, it's a BOAT and things go wrong. "Yes we can" overcome this too!
