We arrive in Florida after a longer than expected sail from the Bahamas and show you how we get around as cruisers living at anchor to run errands. We settle cravings we've had living off grid and away from home for so long and attend the US Air Show watching fighter jets, a WW2 airplane, helicopters and the US Air Force Thunderbirds put on a show before tackling an engine governor which is the source of an oil leak in our Yammer 4JHTE diesel engine.
