Notes & Observations:
Fuel level of black marker is starting level. Heater will most likely run all day as temp is only forecast to 57 degrees.Visual inspection at 1,700 RPM showed no leaks from water or exhaust. Everything sounded good.Replaced impellor, cleaned strainer, and tightened up alternator belt. I also tried to tighten the temp sender wire. It is very goofy. May just need to replace.All fluids at good levels. Oil just below max.First overnight of the season! We got stuck at locks for a couple hours as the train bridge needed to be repaired. Very gusty conditions. Boat was fine, crew was a bit iffy. We were overpowered with both head sails and full main.

Started up after 3 tries at 10 seconds each. Visual inspection showed what looked like water leak from exhaust manifold? Looked like starter and stop electronics had water damage. Possible it spilled from galley? There was also some corrosion between manifold and SS lift elbow.

Boat ran very well. We picked up 20 gallons of fuel at Morrison’s for ~$77. Went over to Lake Washington, Drifted and had lunch. Landing was very good. Mel very comfortable handling lines!
