This is my post for @freewriter Tuesday prompt sweet and sour hosted by @marrianne
I did not catch the fish in the picture, they are red snappers, and they are caught in the ocean. The woman who works at the fish house was packing them.
You could say that I have had a sweet and sour day. I have spent the last three days trying to catch bait, I have a total of 32 pigfish. Today I took the 32 bait and went to Judah's island.
As I was running to it, I could see water running out from under the cowling, this is the hood, of my motor. I took the cowling off and water was coming from above my top sparkplug. What is going on now!!!!
I was almost to Judah's island and I was determined to use the 32 pigfish that I worked so hard to get. So I went ahead and fished it.
The last time I fished the sandbar, I caught jacks on it. I noticed that the rolling grass that was along the edge is now gone and so were the jacks, I caught 5.
With my motor pouring water into itself, I did not want to run any further so I went to the north side of the island.
With my 32 bait, I caught 26 jacks that weighed 49 pounds. I was upset because I did not have any more bait.
With the bait and my motor situation, I was going to pull the crab traps and bait traps but after pulling the crab traps, I realized that I did not have enough room on my boat for both so my husband has to go get the bait traps tomorrow.
I saw what I thought was a rod sticking up from the water, when I picked it up, it was a flag.
When I got home I put the earmuffs on my motor, ear muffs are what I hook to the water hose and put over the water pick up on the motor.
Water was pouring out, after shutting the motor off, I stuck my finger above the plug and could feel a hole as big around as my finger. The bad thing is, the hole is in the block of the motor. If it was in the water jacket cover I could replace it, but not the engine block. Also, now I do not know how long all of the wirings will last after being covered in saltwater. I sprayed it with a lubricant and then freshwater and again with lubricant. The day turned out more sour than sweet.
