Foggy this morning, then cloudy, very still, sunny this afternoon
Did a water test today, problem not entirely gone so have stayed another day at Sound Boat Works. The mechanic here is booked up, but has been great to spend time discussing what the issues might be and giving suggestions. Ed and Nancy from Dream Fever very kindly invited us over for lunch.
Not sure if that is the issue. If it is, wondering if it has clogged some little valve in the line. That is tomorrow's job, to check all of the connections and valves.
We are both retired. Ruth is a Registered nurse, taught nursing at the local Community college; Wayne is retired from farming, sold farm products. We are the proud parents of 3 children and 5 grandchildren.
We are setting up this blog to record our adventure as we plan for and travel the great loop. We started our adventure by finding "just the right boat" in Georgian Bay, Kilbear marina, in May of 2008. She is a 36' Senator aft cabin motor yacht, with twin diesel engines. Our big adventure that summer was bringing the boat home through the Trent-Severn waterway to Crysler Park marina on the St. Lawrence River.
Then in July of 2009, we left to do the triangle, down the St. Lawrence to Montreal, up the Ottawa River, and down the Rideau Canal to Kingston, and back down the St. Lawrence to Crysler Park. Good way to get to know our boat better.
We are spending the fall and winter of 09-10 preparing both ourselves and the boat for our trip. We left in July of 2010, heading up the St. Lawrence to Trenton, then back up the Trent-Severn system to Georgian Bay and beyond, completing the loop in the summer of 2011.
I was thinking "dirty fuel" too. Have you been able to rule that out yet?
