Day 14:Crystal River: Supply Day


Wednesday October, 11

We ventured deeper in the Crystal River today searching for cheaper fuel and Manatees.  We saw a few from a distance.  We wanted to go to a spot where we could get into the water with them, but our boat was too big.  When we finished docking up for fuel a mommy and her baby were right in front of our boat, but just as we noticed them they swam away, out of sight.   

Here we are on the hunt for manatees...

After fueling we walked about a mile for some supplies.  Oh I didn't tell you.  After talking with a tech from Simrad, our autopilot maker, he said our compass is offset because of where its installed and we may possibly be missing a fuse.  Simrad are extremely easy to use, basically install and use.  Jacob moved the compass and got a proper reading and found that we WERE missing a fuse.  So...we headed out for a fuse, dog food, and engine oil.  I knew we were on the right path when I saw "222" 

 Those numbers seem to follow me/us everywhere.

Once the fuse was installed the autopilot began to work!!!  Sea trials tomorrow...
