quite the delay between engine and Maui boy

Still in San Fran area...   and a tad messed up what has been posted lately.   SOOOOO  engine went on hold cause Maui Boy started having issues peeing.  Apparently very normal for boy kitties.  fixed then not etc... on round three now and likely to be in kitty hospital 2-3 more days.  Then we will continue to hang out till he proves this fix is for real!  If not  we all need to decide a sex change is in his best interest. Seriously, that is how they fix boy pee issues when the penis is too narrow to evacuate crystals... ICK and really against our thoughts!

Many many many huge thanks to Scott and Susan for all their friendship, local support, transport, help, and loan of a vehicle.  Even after they knew we hadn't driven in 3 months, let a lone California.  lol.  All is well and her van is in same condition loaned in. Love you guys.  : )

Also  many huge thanks to our newer friends and fellow cruisers, Steve and Vickie.  They are moored slightly south of us and he flew north to get their car.  In the process, offered transport which we were grateful and Doug enjoy the guy time too. 

Engine still spits oil but we have more wisdom now.  Local repairers are all super busy.  4-6 weeks out or have back issues that can't work on ours, under the floor...  However we have had much great input from professionals and as soon as we are back in motion will discover if the issues are something we can control with greater rev's (and piss off our cats) or really require overhaul...

Really enjoying our time in San Fran area, technically coastal Alameda.  Moderate temps,  little bit of burn off needed in AM's otherwise gorgeous! Especially cool to get to spend so much time with Scott n Susan.  Not that we wouldn't love to get further south and see some another dear friend, Cindy and our daughter Sally and her family. 

Needless to say a very emotional week and a half...

Love to all!
