Day 180, 6th February, 2010
John changed the oil filters on the engine in the m orning. On two occcasions in the last couple of days we kind of lost propulsion. Didn't hit anything, didn't hear any clonks or anything, she just sort of lost gusto. Maybe dirty filters. We'll get the engine and transmission checked with a Yanmar mechanic in Marathon, just to be sure all is well.
Then we went out to play. Sharon and I walked over to the John Pennekamp State Park just up the highway. Its beautiful there, a real family place with all kinds of things to do. I had a lovely swim in the bay. It was lovely. Unfortunately the sun went behind the clouds though and it wasn't quite warm enough to sit on the beach! So we walked back to the dinghies and met the guys. John had walked up to Divers Direct (about 5 miles in the other direction!) He'd bought a weight belt so he could check the anchor a little more easily. We were going to try out Reg's weights to see how much we'd need.
We had supper at the Paradise Restaurant just across from the municipal building. A cute little pink place!!! Another late night!!
