...I might have talked through those classes about weather... I might have not paid much attention to those courses... I might of had too much fun thinking and dreaming of sailing to care...
Hi all,
Thanks to those that have put in their 2 cents...
the water hoses are not leaking or off.
I wonder if there is a temporary caulk for steel tanks. we will need to replace them this winter possibly.
today's challenge... trying to fix the rpm/tackometer on the diesel engine. Checked the alternator for power, yup it is alternating electricity, checked the wires - they seem good. we might need a new Tack or find the silly wire that is amiss. we are going to wait till we can call the Yanmar guy I'm sure he will have a clue for us - unless you guys know anything. Dont keep me in the dark. It takes a village (home town) to keep us sailing.
tomorrow is leave the dock with out plans or a place to stay... I think we are making my dad a bit nervous with our non-plans. It depends on the wind. it is forcast 15-25 winds ok for reefed sailing except if those winds are in the morning and if leaving the slip seems to hairy for me... I will make my crew stay an extra day. don't you all agree?
oh, I know my mensa puzzler for the day. I'm learning about weather patterns. we have a book about the weather in chesapeake. I tried to read it this winter but it was too boring. BUT now the book is amazing cuz I have a barometer that I can see and take measurements from and I have the wind direction. I've taken stats today... I'll let you know how it goes. it is different than the bwca for sure.
tonight is the last night for wifi. we will not know when the next blog will come, if our iphones work we will blog, if not we will write in Word then send the days when we are close.
tomorrow we set sail to Wye river - we hope - DEPENDS on wind and weather.
today is the first day I didn't care what emails I had (work related). sorry staff. i'm pulling away from civilization and into the sea life. here we go.
oh, today we went grocery shopping and listened to Verne and John's suggestion get a bunch of your drinks Juice and stuff cuz when you gunkhole you have to walk far to the grocery store and you don't want to carry heavy stuff. thanks for the suggestion.
Oh I keep remembering new things of this day... sorry to keep you all still reading but this is a good story - short.
today we were walking and our neighbor thought they lost their cat - they did not the cat was just hidden in one of the many hiding spaces that cats find. ANYWAY they are new just like us but not half as lucky with their previous owner. We actually helped them... us helped someone else! we've had so many people help us and now we actually know something... we helped them get to Fawcetts, Bacon's consignment, you can't grill on your boat, the showers are good on J dock, grocery place and other small tidbits of info. we both felt proud of ourselves. we will keep in contact with them, they are trying to go sailing on a shoestring too.
May the Lord make His face shine unto you and give you His peace!!!
I shall smile as I sleep knowing all the love my friend send to me - good night!
