This morning around 8:30, Rod was working on the raw water pump in the engine room - it was leaking. He ended up having to call a mechanic to come over because he didn't have the right tools to remove the parts he needed to put on the extra pump that he had. Then there was a strap that needed to be adjusted so the poor Captain was down there until 1pm.
I couldn't find Shadow anywhere. He always watches Rod down there & I try to distract him, which sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Well, I kept looking for him & couldn't find him so I told Rod I thought he was in the engine room. The Captain says no way, but I still couldn't find him & sure enough he was down there🙀🙀🙀. Rod handed him up & the door was then shut😾😾😾. When the engine room is cool, you can do that. Very bad cat!!! Rod always thought that if he got down there it would be impossible to find him as there are so many nooks & crannies. Fortunately he could see him.
When Rod went back down after the mechanic came, I decided to put Shadow down in the forward cabin area - his room for food, water & cat litter- & I shut the door which doesn't go all the way to the top. I saw him sitting on the steps trying to figure out how to get out & eventually he did. I'm not sure how but he jumped out & was on the counter. The door to the engine room went back down! That cat is too smart for his own good😼😼😼.
Later this afternoon a SYC boat came in - Four Captains, a 84' Horizon PHMY - & we thought we saw James & Sherry Raisbeck on the boat. Sure enough it was them, so I went over to say hello to both of them. James was on the ballet board when I was on it. We've also been to a number of parties at their beautiful house in Seward Park.
Tonight we ended up barbecuing hamburgers with cheese & had the rest of the kale salad. We were going to go out for dinner but Rod was pretty sore & tired from all the work he did in the engine room today. It got up to 80' again today. We ended up with 12 boats here tonight.
