Repairs and new electronics
installation are complete... almost. I've been in touch with the
service manager quite often and have been tracking their progress.
The work includes:
- Installation of a new Racor fuel filtration system.
- Davit repairs.
- Hull repaired near rudder shaft.
- Steering Actuator resealed.
- Fresh water leak.
The new fuel filtration system
installation was nearly complete when we arrived, everything else was
complete except for one thing; the bilge had standing water again.
They are having a hard time finding the leak, it's not lake water,
it's coming from the fresh water system.
We had hoped to get underway tomorrow
but with rain and windy conditions forecast we will probably wait
until Thursday (Thanksgiving Day), this will also give them one more
chance to find the leak.
We ran into a couple who are in the
same boat as Kim and me, sort-of. They bought a boat in Florida and
crossed the Gulf then brought her up the Tn-Tom to Aqua Yacht Harbor.
From here they drove home and loaded up a truck and came back ready
to start the Loop. They suggested we travel together for a while, so
we'll see how that goes.
