Breaking even

We headed annapolis last weekend to relax and sail alittle. We managed to knock the nav light off the bow pulpit getting away from the dock and then left the dink to get stuck under a dock as the tide came in. So the second half of the weekend was spent fixing the nav light and working the water out of the dink moter. Also noticed an extra pair of holes drilled in the inner hull of the dink. Of course these holes allowed the inner hull space to fill with water so I had to pull the plugs and hoist the dink on the davits to get it to drain. I will be filling those holes next trip.

Whatta Deal !

We took the kids and grand kids out on the lake for the 4th of July. We had a very nice evening but our little 5411 diesel overheated on the way back. We made it back in and I went back Monday to tear down the water pump. I got the empellor replaced but discovered a water leak past the shaft. Fortunately, a replacement pump is still available and is on the way.
