Try pumping it out.




Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Ignore the idiots.

You need a pump that works through the dipstick. I use a Tempo Oilboy

The filter is more of a problem, since it always makes a mess. I keep a pack of
extra large diapers to try to contain it.

Yeh, we had one of those for the old A4 on the Catalina 27. Worked
ok. Hard to flush it out well, but it's better than nothing.

Add a 12" length of 1/4"' brake tubing to the pump intake hose. This
allows you to probe the oil pan and retrieve more dirty oil. Also, you
can fit a small disposable paint roller tray under the engine to
capture the mess from the oil filter. Remember to warm up the engine
or you'll be a long time pumping.

We had just no wind on the sound on Saturday, though I heard it picked up
later. Sunday was gusting 25-30, just great sailing though some water managed
to get past the dodger a few times.
Who won the tacking dual?

Wait, did I say 25-30? I meant 45-50. Forget about those buoy reports that
still show wind in my area did not top 15 yesterday - BOY it was honkin'! We
could only manage a scrap of jib as none of the girls were bold enough to go
forward and raise the main and I certainly wasn't about to unhook the harness.
Besides, no one felt like heeling because then the soda cans don't stay upright
on the seats. And that water coming past the dodger was not just leaking
through the faulty seams, but genuine green water - err, well, really brown
water, with little specs of NY runoff trash in them. But I was sailing, while
you ninnies were playing with your computers.

Hoo Ahh
