    Our 9kw gen-set electric fuel pump has died.
    We are at Elliot Key.
    Was thinking of Amazon dropping a new fuel pump on somebody and meeting them somewhere close by.
    Of course lunch and refreshments would be included.
    Were not in bad shape, our 30KW gen-set is running but on light loads. Fixing to crank up some water makers to offer some load and keep this set happily loaded but not wanting 24/7 operation.

    Thank you brother. I guess I can run up in the Mako to meet you. I'll be bingo in gas. Gas pumps there?

    Is this request for help related to you also being out of hooch? :(
    Wish I could help, my boats was always loaded with spares, food and drink.
    Good luck and keep us posted.

    Didn't think about a hooch delivery. May have to work that out later.
    This was a spare. About 200 hours old.

    Not at dinner key itself but at matheson a couple of miles south. Or at Monty’s and grove harbor just to the north.

    I was wondering how I was going to catch up with Brother Pascal.
    Fuel pump coming in tomorrow to him. I'll race up the B Bay to meet him in our lil Mako.
    Extra seat cushion already selected.

    I've not been into Dinner Key in 25 years. Even then, not much during the daylight hours.
    This mission may offer a double (or more) treat.

    Thank you Brother Pascal.
