AND she is back!
20 to 25 MPH winds, 2-3 seas. Just didn’t feel it. So we went and took her home. Rough getting out of the slip at marina, with wind and seas, Side Shifter did its job well. Sloppy coming down the Wareham River, then like magic……wind stopped and seas flattened out. I needed to try the port engine, as last fall I tuned it up and it started breaking up at 3200. I replaced the distributor cap with the old one to see if it was that. Once things smoothed out, brought it up to 3200, 3500, then WOT and she it 4100 with ease. I was running light. We always run heavy. Exhaust was totally out of the water. When we got into the Cape Cod Canal, things really smoothed out. Into Cohasset Narrows at the dreaded low tide, Some places are at 4.5’. Navigated it well and into the slip in ONE shot. Nice ride, just not long enough. NO canvas up so it was not a sail.

Re: AND she is back!
Saturday for canvas. I didn’t like the way the yard opened and closed it, as it is 12,000.00 worth last year. It is like my new born!

Re: AND she is back!
I have to say I was totally shocked when I got my bill from the storage marina. Without going int it deeply, This is a premier boat yard here, professionalism abounds. Yes, they do charge what they need to make a profit. We have yards down here on Cape Cod that are at $230.00/hour labor. DRUM ROLLLLL>>>>>>>>>>>> Same labor rate as last year!! $140.00/hour! AND they only charged me for commissioning ONE engine while they did 2. There are people and companies that still have a heart!
