Great time, thanks! Weather was perfect. Had to turn on the heat a couple nights as temps dropped to
low 50's. Not one drop of rain once the music started on Wednesday.

And, most importantly, didn't break anything on the RV. But...I think a wheel bearing seal is
leaking so will get the bearings repacked (or replaced) and resealed tomorrow.

Heh, why should land cruising be different than boat cruising? The
definition of boat cruising is fixing things in exotic places. And of
course "BOAT" stands for Break Out Another Thousand.

Yup, poop happens. One of the guys in my fishing group is a commercial
guy. Runs a 6 pack. Means at most 6 passengers. He was a mile of
Bodega last week and an engine stopped. Looked in to the engine hatch to
see it filling with water. Made it to the beach on the other motor. Got
all the clients off safely on the beach. Waves destroyed the boat.
Hauled away in 10 yard dumpster. CG thinks it was a cutlass bearing seal
that failed. He will get another boat, but we are all happy hat no one got
injured.

RV's aren't quite as bad. But they do require a fair amount of maintenance. A new member of our
camping group had just bought his 5th wheel trailer and brought it to a campout for the first time.
He'd bought a rig that had been sitting on the dealer's lot for a few years. His refrigerator wasn't
working. I asked if he had the manual and he had to go look. When he came out he said he wasn't
'mechanically oriented'. I told him he'd better get mechanically oriented, or rich, or an automobile
and stay in motels.

That goes double for boats. We just had to pay a mechanic to fix a
minor but annoying oil leak on the port engine. It required special
tools, parts and skills (two new high pressure hoses) or I would have
tackled it myself. After waiting in the job queue for several weeks
we finally got it fixed. Total tab? About a boat buck.

Consider installing bearing buddies along with the seals. If you
want the job done right do it yourself.

Bearing Buddies. Best invention since the wheel.

I said earlier, I just pulled the hubs on my boat trailer after 25
years of being totally ignored except a little shot of grease in the
bearing buddies and they were fine. That is after being dunked in salt
water several times a year and then just parked.
