Today was launch day. I wanted to bribing her home to my marina, but storage marina said they did not finish their work. So reluctantly I agreed to let them finish up so I wouldn’t need to take over their work. Leaks checked for by the yard, and in we went and into a slip. Admiral and I went back 3 hours later as I always want to check things, and i was surprised to see the port shaft dripping, and the starboard with a good steady stream. In 3 hours, there was 5” in the starboard engine bilge. I called the emergency number and staff responded right away. They tightened up the starboard one. The port one was going to get tightened for the night too, but they only had the packing and gland nut finger tight. No, it shouldn’t have happened, but I do know that shaft stuffing boxes need to be tightened when in water with shafts turning. Anyway, we are in, shore power works great and fo now no leaks. They will finish up their work in teh next couple days and we will be heading home some afternoon next week.

I was putting up the bimini and saw some zippers need restitching…….I am so glad I have my Sailrite LSZ as I can stitch the zippers this weekend instead of being at the mercy of a canvas person.
