This ride is over.

Yermo is going on The SV Will Sea (1991 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44).

Good evening last night. I would like to visit here again.

Using the dinghy I tried to wipe off as much of the diesel stain as I could with Hull Cleaner.

Hard day today. Start issue returned. I wired in a start relay to lessen the load on the old start wire. I also added an emergency start switch.

Anchored at 5:06. Start problem recurred. I started the motor by jumpering the start solenoid.

Roller furler fouled. Wayne is dealing with it.

Yesterday was the starter motor. Today the gloropane solenoid and regulator. Wayne also did the genser impellor.

We've decided tootor back to Jabins to get the starter.

Well that was unexpected. The diesel would not start. I whacked it and it started. Diversified had an aftermarket one in stock which they are leaving in the dock box for me.

Just heard of a report of a sunken 46ft vessel just North of Poplar Island.

Over the radio we heard report of a boat fire South of Bloody Point. An Anne Arundel fire boat responded.

What day is this?

I got up at 8. I slept fairly well. Lots and lots of water seems to help.

We walked around Inner Harbor and then all the way to Fells Point where we had dinner at a dog themed bar.

We arrived with no drama despite a 12kt crossbreeze.

Francis Scott Key bridge ... damn.

BUG: Another gap in tracking.

The diesel is smoking quite a bit more than I think it should but it sounds fine.

There was a report of a 10 ft log North of the Bay Bridge so I spent quite a bit of time on the bow keeping watch. I noticed the toe rail on the port side at the bow is loose. Another project.

We carefully evaluated the turbo. No play. No resistance. No noise other than turbo whine. After much consideration given that we are staying local we believe it is an acceptable risk to run it.
