PING Skip and Lydia
Well, that's sorta correct.
First, no import duties - we're a vessel in transit, and had proof of it with us - because we told the customs officer that the two boxes, total 125 pounds, had mostly stuff we took back for repair and some Christmas gifts. Waved us right through. Prolly didn't hurt that we'd had a TSA inspection tape all over both boxes :{)) I got to see all of my 4 kids and 6 grandkids, and my father, who likely won't be with us this summer, on the trip, and Lydia got to see all of her 4 kids, and grandson (the reason for the visit) for the entire month. However, we're back on the boat, the rebuilt injectors are installed and Perky purrs like a kitten - apparently they were needed! Heads up on Foley Engines - they suck, big time. Bait and switch for starters, and then they didn't include the banjo bolts or crush washers with the rebuilts, prompting a last-minute search for the parts starting at 8PM Friday night. That it's running tells you I succeeded. Details to follow in a separate post after I get done installing all the new gear, maybe a week if I'm lucky. Off the dock at the kind people who gave us the space cheaply tomorrow at high tide, back in Marsh Harbour before dark, and the installations commence in earnest on Wednesday... Thanks for asking. It's been a great trip, but we both are extremely glad to be home. L8R Skip -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !

Poor bloke had so many of his frivolous systems breaking down and no access to parts or replacements in the Bahamas. Had to return to the States to keep his floating condominium in some sort or running order. Just wait till they hit him with huge import duties. Bwahahhahahaha. That'll learn him. Wilbur Hubbard |
