There appears to be a leak in the port (left, for you land locked folks) engine's fuel system. The leak lets in air, the air bubbles block the fuel, and the engine shuts down. Currently, the dock mechanic, along with Reynolds and Clyde, are disassembling the fuel system, piece by piece, and checking for air leaks. It's exactly as tedious as it sounds. If that doesn't work, then we may need to order a new fuel pump. Best case scenario, they will find the leak soon, and we will be able to leave tomorrow. Worst case scenario, they spend 2-3 days putzing around withthe fuel system looking for leaks, and it ends up being the fuel pump. The new pump would take a few days to come in.
We will keep you posted on how the repairs are progressing.
In other news, I need to pester my brother to post some pictures.
