Happy Easter!  We woke up to a sunrise service on the beach.  It lasted for three hours.  Tonight Barefoot Davis is playing at Honeymoon Beach on Water Island.  It was another motor job.  We went over to the beach around 4:00 pm. Joe's bar was hosting a beach party.  He supplies ribs.  Everyone else brings something to share.  We brought a huge pork tenderloin, which Joe cooked up with the ribs for us.  As soon as we got there, the mosquitoes were attacking us.  I have never seen so many mosquitoes.  Paul ran back to the boat to get more bug spray and a citronella candle.  There was lots of food.  Everything was great too.  Apparently they have this party every Sunday.  We had a great evening.  After Barefoot Davis was done playing, we all hung out for a while.

We pulled the anchor up around 8:30 am.  We motored over to Water Island to pick up Dan's girlfriend Pamela and headed to Culebra.   She works on charter boats in the islands as a chef.  We ended up talking about all kinds of recipes and things she makes on the charters.  There was no wind once again, but it was sunny and 80 degrees out.  After motoring for four hours we dropped the anchor.  It was a lovely afternoon.  We had a cheese tray for an afternoon snack and for dinner Paul made an awesome mussel dinner over pasta.  It was nice relaxing evening with great conversation.

It was a great sleep last night.  It was a work day!  First we installed the fuel filter pressure gauge.  We turned the engine on.  We were still in the red.  Now it was time to find were the clog is!  Paul and Dan started taking the hoses off.  After about 20 minutes they found the clog.  Paul used the fender pump to unclog it.  They sucked the rest of the fuel out of the line and got the rest of the particulates out.  They put the hoses back together and turned on the engine back on.  All is a go, we are reading in the white again.  Were back in business!  We decided it was time for cocktail celebration.  Next onto the generator.  We started it up and it only ran for six minutes.  The boys trouble shot it and narrowed it down to the temperature gauge.  The area was to hot to mess with .  S

This morning we started heading for Charlotte Amalie.  We are still having an issue with the fuel filter gauge.  Our fuel filters are clean, but the pressure gauge is still reading in the red.  Paul is determine it was the gauge.  We got into Charlotte Amalie with no issues and dropped the hook.  Dan called the Yamaha dealer to let them know we were here.  In about an hour a rhasta guy showed up to the boat with a motor, fuel tank, and hose.  He took our old motor and fuel tank for us.  One thing of the list!  Off we went to check in at customs.  When we got there it was 1:15 pm.  The office was not open till 2:00 pm.  So, we decided to go and have a beer while we waited.  We cleared customs at 2:00 pm no problem.  There was hookah bar around the corner from customs and Paul wanted to check it out.  Whe
