Yesterday, January 1st, we took an Alberta transplant couple on a wee
cruise and toast the points of the compass. This is an unusual
Alberta couple in that they are not overly bothered by the rain...
"just dress for it eh".
We circumnavigated the Protection - Newcastle group and offered
toasts to 8 cardinal points of the compass along the way. The warm
beverage is boat coffee (rum & hot chocolate).
Coming home in the narrow channel near Stones Marina the exhaust
mixer elbow/riser separated from the manifold. Lotsa of noise, smoke
and warm water spraying below. The repair consisted of three types of
tape (Gorilla, wide PVC electrical and self vulcanizing rigging).
That wasn't enough to keep the pieces together so I had to lash the
elbow tight to the engine with small stuff to stop exhaust pressure
pushing the mixing elbow aft. We were able to idle home to the yacht
club... no wind in the channel and a contrary current of course.
A grand day out with a bit of adventure to start the New Year.
Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1
