Got up at 5 a.m. this morning Steve, Jeff, Darla & Jay were up to see us off. Steve & Jay took out Steves boat just ahead of us for a morning sail. See in pic. We get out to the bay and rev the engines up to 2K rpm and the starboard engine starts over heating. So we back it down to 1500 rpm and it runs a little above normal. So we anchor behind Redfish Island so I can get in the water to check the saltwater intake. Seems clean so I try to pull off the intake hose and can not get it off. So we decide to go down to Galveston hook up to electric and get the a/c going. I get the hose off and I have a broken Ball-Valve on the Sea cock.
We get on the phone (it's 4th of July Holiday) but we get a haul out and ball-valve at Hillmans Marina setup for tomorrow morning.
Hope tomarrow is a lot easier!
