The problem with big brothers is that they always seem to one up you. As Reboot's engine was stuttering into Caicais my big brother Al's engine was also stuttering. The difference is that he and Sally were in their turbo Mooney airplane making an emergency landing at Oshkosh (by gosh.) At least he did not have to contend with the annual EAA fly in.
Apparently we both had fuel problems. With me it was dirty fuel, with Al the fuel pump.
I am glad we both made it to safety.
