Key's Cruising with John William #68 (Tuggers Vol.61)

Finally got everything together and went for our cruise. Ended up at Plantation Key in the city marina for 3 days running the AC continuous to stay alive. Could not break 84 in the salon but the state room air kept it at 74 and cooler. If anyone is thinking of installing AC do it like a bow thruster, go larger than recommended. Boat ran fine, only minor problems, engine stopped twice, due to bad connector on fuel shut down solenoid and a big ball of palm fronds in the wheel.

Spotted this anchor in 12 ft of water going down Biscayne Bay. Close to 6 ft or longer and too big for me to wrestle up on deck. Suspect it came from one of the oil barges that run to the power plant down there. Lots of growth on it so its been there a while.

We did have a nice trip and finally got to relax.   [Next we'll be] hauling for a bottom job and a new thru hull for a water maker.
