Seasonal Oil Change

May 17, 2009…

This morning I went over to Monomoy for a little cleanup in the cabin after yesterday’s cruising. I also performed the maintenance of our seasonal oil change. While I was at it, I cleaned the raw water strainer.

Since we are planning to do the Backwater Environmental Escape Rendezvous (B.E.E.R.) June 5-9, I wanted to go ahead and get the oil change out of the way before the trip. There are about 50 sailboats participating, all sailing the roundtrip distance of about 75 miles.

Afternoon Sail

May 16, 2009…

Went for an afternoon sail from about 12:30pm till about 5pm. Jody purchased a new pontoon boat about a week ago, so he was out with his daughter cruising about the bay.

The weather was funny. Wind was 10 knots with 15 knot gusts.

We finished the evening by grilling hamburgers at the dock and then took an evening cruise with Jody, Chrys, and Myriah on their boat. Brice joined us for burgers and the evening cruise.
