FINALLY got out for the shakedown run before the trip upcoming.starboard engine ran a little warm, and after 10 or so minutes (180-185) temp dropped, so did coolant. That darn air bubble from riser replacement finally worked itself out. was able to get to 4100 WOT (my number is 4000 to 4400) and we run HEAVY, full tankage, enough supplies to last as Admiral likes to have everything aboard. Finally settled down to cruising at 3000 at 165 temp. LIKE glass, so it was an Admiral day. Made some pasta sauce, pastrami, burgers, subs during past couple weeks as we live aboard mostly in the summer.

Ah, good times. Glad to hear everything worked out. Last Weekend was pretty darn nice in our area also, glass like water and very few boats out. Not sure if we are going this weekend as the forecast is mostly cloudy with rain and showers for 3 days. That can change quickly though.

Weather does change quickly. Was predicted 2/3’ seas and 15 South wind. Deviating for Buzzards Bay. However in AM was still, wind flag nit moving and pond like. Headed right out at 7:00am. Burned some of last years gas and sadly back at marina about 2. 2:30 and the wrath of Buzzards Bay hit. We we were docked, washed and having a cocktail on aft deck watching those who stayed out longer so the “docking dance”. Not predicted too good this weekend but always ready.

Okay gotta go, I'm hungry now

hope you eat as well
