Hip hip hurray for Jesse!
I was almost without hope any times during this fiasco. It seemed like everything was exactly correct, and the thing didn't work. I should have taken off that shroud LONG BEFORE Jesse arrived. The best part is Jesse said he could make it work as a heater too. I'm looking forward to that too.
I am indeed fortunate. These afternoon showers temporarily cool things off. Subsequently the humidity goes up. It's a trade-off. Florida's motto is "The Sunshine State" which is absolutely not true in the summertime.
The birds spend a great deal of time hiding in the mangrove. It is cooler there for them. We have had a lot of dolphins hunting the fish in and around the mangroves of late too. Watching the wildlife is a great pleasure. I hope you and your Janet are enjoying the views off your boat too. Take care, and thank you for your comment. J.
