I was all set to do a blog on our first trip out to the Colorado River today in our boat but as luck would have it, right after a marvelous lunch parked on a midstream sand bar, our motor broke down.
Marc wasn’t exactly sure until he gets it torn apart a little more, but figured it could have been a plugged fuel filter because when he bypassed the system we were able to get the motor started again and limp back five miles to the boat ramp. Needless to say, with less than 40 hours on this motor and hating to have motorboat problems, he is not happy. He plans to fix it tomorrow and we may try again on Monday. That could be better anyway because today was very crowded on the river. But we did find out—it is beautiful there! Especially now that it is triple digits, being on the water or in the water is so much cooler! Plus, I’ve got a good story to tell…
Stay tuned.
