We went to the Brownsville Marina for a cruise with the Des Moines Yacht Club on Saturday.  Beautiful weather and fun times with friends.

As we were getting ready to leave on Sunday, the boat wouldn’t start.  Not sure why but it did manage to suck water into the cylinders when Darrel kept trying.  So, he had to take out the spark plugs, blow out the cylinders, squirt with WD40 – twice.

If finally started after shooting some starter fluid into the carburetor, or Magic in a Can as my friend, Karen Hazzard calls it.  He had many supervisors for the job.

We took off down Covos Passage and stopped by the end of Maury Island and fished for several hours – with no luck.  Then headed into Gig Harbor and got a spot on the public dock for the night.

Very busy with boaters and walkers all night along the dock.  I cooked dinner which many of them invited themselves too since it smelled so good.  Grilled pork chops and sauteed vegetables.  The pork was pasture and woodland raised Berkshire from R Heritage Farms.  They have a booth at the Des Moines market and the meat is excellent.

Fished again this morning with no luck, so headed home.

Darrel is feeling well and hasn’t had any nausea or problems for a week.  Tomorrow is chemo day so I will let you know how that goes.

Beautiful days on the boat.
