It’s always something…. This morning we were going to take Wishes out with our friends on the boat Miss Kimberly. We started up the boat, and got the lines untied and when Mike put the boat in gear and the starboard gear shift leaver broke.

Luckily our fiends Dave and Kimberly asked us to join them on their boat and we were all able to go snorkeling out at Sombrero Reef. Kimberly climbed out on the bow and go us hooked up to a mooring ball. It was a beautiful spot, the water was so clear we could see the bottom even though it was 20 feet deep. The water was a little chilly, but once you’re in you get used to it. Seeing all the pretty fish and coral distracts from the cold water. We made sandwiches and had lunch out there, it was the perfect day! Kimberly and Jen were out snorkeling they saw two eels! They were do bright and green, it was so majestic. Dave had a secret trick to getting all the fish to come up to the surface… tortilla chips. He would crush them and toss them in the water and hundreds of reef fish would swim up to eat them.

On our way back to Faro Blanco Mike did some research on the parts needed to fix the leaver. Pictures of the broken one are posted below.

Jen made pasta salad for docktails tonight. It was yummy. Michael and Jen took turns pulling each other in the wagon… not matter how old they get, when they are together it’s like their kids again.
