I went by to visit Scott's boat at The Boat Shop yesterday. Ben was tearing it down to see exactly what the problem was. The picture shows what we first thought. The cylinder on the left shows the rings have come completely apart and a major repair is in order. Ben says he can have the engine rebuilt in two weeks. Fortunately, this is not the busiest time of the year for boat repairs.

On Wednesday, Marv and I went back to Ayres Reef. The tide had dropped a foot and the water temperature was down to 64 degrees. The water was too shallow to fish the same areas that Scott and I fished on Sunday. We tried both DOA and live shrimp. We caught only about 12 small trout with most preferring the DOA. On the way back we fished the east shoreline of Sundown Bay. We ended up with a total of 14 small trout and one keeper that was over 16 inches. Marv and Rita returned to Houston yesterday.
No concrete work was done on the entrance road this week.
