What a great day! First, the weather was perfect, light winds and partly sunny as the day wore on. Second, the scenery was spectacular as we motored through protected channels created by the dozens of little islands in the bay. Lastly, we had some unfo…
Havre de Grace to St. Michaels (Aug 20 – Sep 2)
We finally managed to leave Bruce and Joan’s on August 20th. They are such good hosts and in such a nice location, it was easy to keep extending. But we had places to go and things to see! You wouldn’t think that would be the case knowing the amount of…
Not A Great Start To The Weekend
Fuel leaking out of the injector pump. Which was all well and good, albeit potentially expensive. Then a piece of one of the tools broke off & disappeared into the engine. So instead of an injector pump, it’s looking more like dismantling the front…
August 28 – Kassa Island Bay
We departed at oh-dark thirty in order to hit slack at Tlevak Narrows, about 19 miles from Craig. Even though we were only about forty minutes past slack, we already had a 2 knot current (in our favor fortunately) in the narrows and nearly knots …
That’s a failure
First decent day to get some bows made. I managed to get 4 done before it got too hot. Besides I need a nappy! This one broke in a weird spot. It was the inside strap that’s under a bit more tension as the outside one. It broke about half way up. It we…
Carrot Cake Surprise is what we called it….scooped some cake

Engine mounts
Just a few shots of the fabrication that I’m doing on the engine mounting brackets. Hope we get these right the first time…
Ports
Sue and I installed all the ports on the stbd side last Sunday. They are completely bedded in the same butyl rubber caulking tape that we used for the windows and doors. These ports are made by New Found Metals and are a great value and seem to be of v…
August 27 – Craig
We got a fairly early start in order to get close to slack water through the Tonowek Narrows. The cruising was pleasant and we arrived in the town of Craig shortly after 12PM. Along the way, we saw the requisite sea otters. We also had become sensiti…
