Esperanza won't give up

After all the recent repairs to the exhaust systems, both the engine and generator, she still will not release us from Marathon . Kendell repaired the drive shaft but discovered a fuel leak in the injector ( yes again) So we are hoping to have that problem fixed by monday, chris the diver will be here tomorrow and hope that goes well, in the mean time ruth and I are enjoying each other and our time together. Ruth rescued a carrier pigeon tonight that flue into our window and ruth decided that it would be a great adder to our chicken soup so she showed me how to clean it and placed into the soup.
Oh...he's in trouble and such a lier!!!! I made a lovely Homemade "Chicken" Soup to help Scott with his cold and as we were sharing the soup with our friends, a Carrier/ Homing Pigeon flew into their glass patio door. After rescuing it first from ferocious Taz, the Chiwawa, it went under the house. I called the Bird Rescue Society and a girl came and got it - from the tag on it's leg she could tell it came from Cuba and was 2 years old! It was tired and very thin. Rest assured I did NOT add it to the soup!!!!!
Despite problems still trying to keep a smile on our faces.
So you want to be a live aboard?
Yes we do!

 After not catching the crane and still needing meat for her chicken soup Ruth looked elsewere.....

  2. Great talking with you both today, sounds like you had a great dinner. It's so nice you have friends there, but I know when your ready to leave it will feel good and we'll be glad when you get home the weather should be good by then.
    Love Mom
