We have to hit the pause button and go to commercial break. Meaning our trip south is now on hold.

The mechanic got the problem child motor out and they are ordering a new one, which could take up to two weeks. I was planning to go home for Thanksgiving anyway so we decided to go ahead and rent a car to head home.

Last night was entertaining though. We had spaghetti on the boat and listened to the steel band play on the big paddle boat beside us. They loaded up 30 people at $60 a head and headed out for a two-hour cruise on the Indian River. Quite the party boat!

But the paddles didn’t really work, they were just for looks. Just like our starboard outboard motor.

Bon voyage Toucan, we will be back in three weeks, rest up for the next leg of our trip.
