Had another amazing weekend again on the Magothy River. The 20 to 30 knot Northwest wind blew the the water out of the Chesapeake Bay to cause an abnormal low tide, yet we still had enough water to leave the slip and return to pick up/drop off passengers each day. Sweet! Great sailing wind late Fri, 12 to 20 knots, fireworks all around the boat 360 degrees for over an hour, but the biggest hit for the girls was getting towed behind the boat on an inflatable raft.
In the lighter stuff on Saturday 5 to 8 knots, my son and I were considering the spinnaker, in a sock, but gave in to dragging crew behind the boat on a fender on a line. Big hit! The girls wanted in. I had to rig towlines to their blow up rafts. Amazingly, they worked, no problems under power. Big smiles all round. The simple $6 blowup raft w a paddle was a favorite at the dock and at anchor. Stopped looking for a standup paddle board for my wife. Now I'm looking for a simple boogie board to tow behind or something suitable for towing two persons at 7 to 8 knots sailing speed. Any suggestions?

It is too hot to wash dishes in without adding cold so you can actually put your hands in - however hot that is (and my cold water is cold - from a tank under the starboard settee). You may have scale issues, although eventually your water tank should get hot anyway, but maybe check for a mixing valve. Could it be a thermostat that's stuck open causing the engine to run cool??

The drain has a hose thread on it so I can probably back flush it. You may not want to know what comes out. Even on mine the cold water gets heated when the engine is running.

The water coming out of the taps never got more than warm. Turned out there was a "balance pipe" between the cold water input to the boiler and the domestic hot water output. In the middle of that pipe was a gate valve that LOOKED just fine. No signs of even slight seepage from the stem. Only problem was that after 30 years, the gate was no longer there. It had corroded away, so no matter how tight you thought it was shut, it was always effectively wide open. I replaced it with a ball valve.

It gets scalding hot after 20-30 of running time. My problem is that I get hot water out of both the hot and cold faucets. Something isn’t plumbed right, I think.
