Ahhh!! Food!!!

End of the day....

And for Wes...

Attempts to get the water out of the engine and on-trail oil change helped. Unfortunately, Wes made it to Bradenton when the engine blew a rod.

A wrecker came and got the family safely home by 2 AM. Wes' own words: "You have to pay to play". You got to get a snorkel, Wes!
