It's October and we really want to be further south than where we are currently (Newport, Rhode Island).
However our engine is still a mystery to the several mechanics who have worked on it. Basically it won't rev up to its full potential. We get about 1800 rpm at full throttle. We should be getting a lot more.
After a few days where the 'experts' were working on it, we actually thought it was all fixed and got up and left at 6:30am yesterday morning to make some headway towards NYC. But after an hour we turned around because the problem persisted.
We have ordered a new fuel injection pump which should arrive by tomorrow. We'll see if that will fix the issue
So frustrating! Plus we're paying every day to be on mooring ball...
This morning I woke up and decided we had to do something that was fun and unrelated to the engine. Time to take matters into our own hands.
We are in a beautiful part of New England and we should see more of it!
So we packed a lunch, our beach things, the kids' boogie boards which they bought with their pocket money and our rain jackets because there were thunderstorms forecasted in the afternoon.
A little sea and surf cured our engine blues for the time being.
