We had never stopped at 'Spanish cay' before. It was purchased (yep..the ENTIRE island..airport and all)around 1998 by a fellow from the US recently retired from the food industry. It was the 'off season' there until march 30th. I asked if he made a GOOD margorita...he replied...YOU BET...2 1/2 later I could hardly talk or finish my 3rd !!! Nice marina...great service,pool,store etc.....and wicked margoritas !!!

It was kinda neat havin a 80 slip marina with only 5 boats !!! Kinda felt like ya owned the island. We know about sharks AND THEIR HABITS SO ONE NIGHT AFTER A WALK WE WENT DOWN TO THE unused 'fish cleaning station' and threw rocks in the water. Shortly after, an 8ft shark came slowly swimming by to see if there were fish scraps to eat !!

Ok...a few pics of the cooler drain...very simple BUT worked great. I would wait until cold water built-up in the cooler
Then I would put warm beer/pop..whatever in the 'pail' to drain the ice cold water into , to pre-cool them before putting them into the cooler.Worked great....6-8 days to ice !!!

I made simple bilge deviders and glued them in place before painting
The aft (deep) end of the bilge carried a 24 beer and several bottles of wine UNDER the cans above!!
I got one that drains out the BEHIND the battery and it works great. Yours looks a little more exciting, what's the red wire for.....Originally Posted by frank durant
The big red wire is the main 'positive' lead from battery to switch
