This morning, May 14, we started out from our anchorage...but pretty soon we heard the alarm on the boat that tells us the engine is overheating. We pulled over to the side of the channel so we could anchor and Wayne went down to try and find the problem. Turns out we needed to have the impeller changed. The spare we had onboard wasn't a new one so Wayne called Island Cove Marina, just a few miles ahead of us, and confirmed they had a new one he could buy.
From there we called Boat US and had a towboat come out to pull us into the marina, which they did. Wayne then tackled the job and finished at around 2:30PM. New impeller in place we took off again and got to Sale Creek Anchorage, mm 495, at 5:30PM. Whew!
Maggie and I did some walking while at Island Cove and spotted this heron looking for lunch....
