Default Splashdown in sight...

First anchor splash recently, now, too.

Addressing some more seeps on new clamps, which is about the worst we can
talk about in our
shakedown, if you ignore the last-minute start battery
replacement this morning :{))


What do you use 'clamps' for?




Unlike some we know, we have an inboard diesel auxiliary power plant. The
hose which connects to the bottom of the raw water pump seeps a bit, now
(never has before, but that was then). Normally the clamp would do the job,
but I broke a couple of them before I decided I'm going to pull it and have
a looksee.

The Y valve to the toilet and holding tank (I hear you have installed one of
those, yourself, even), forward, developed a crack in one of the legs. I
have spares, but at the moment, I have a drip on a different leg. All will
be addressed in the AM.

Lovely dinner on our new cockpit table, for the first time, and our Rocna
bit like a shark. Reading their website they discourage oversizing - and
ours is two levels bigger than their recommendations. I think it will
probably hold :{))

Engine runs WONDERFULLY, no issues whatsoever at the fuel dock (Lydia HANDED
him the bow line, and I sidled up to the dock sideways so that the stern
line could get the same treatment.),

So, I'm about to retire with a good book, and go back at it in the AM. Wind
promises to be in the right direction for moving south soon, so I want to
get it all back in shape.
