Great news. Hopefully the rest of your season is fun and trouble free. Good luck.

Thanks guys, really looking forward to this outing. :captain:

On the positive side I have new dripless seals and a spare seal mounted forward on the shaft, 4 new strut bearings, new couplings, new struts, shafts and new scanned props. Should be good for quite some time if I stop playing with the rocks that is. :-D

Lesson learned, in unfamiliar out of channel areas that are shallower I will always have both plotters on and compare.

It seems every time I go on a 'longish' cruise, I learn new things. Many times they are hard lessons, in stressful situations, however if we actually implement the new information in future situations, we can chalk it up to becoming a more experienced and safer boater.

After about 10hrs of travel over 4 days everything is perfect. Actually gained a few km/hr at most rpm settings. Solid rain since last night and does not look good for the rest of the day but who cares, got the boat back. :-D

Presently in Clayton, NY. heading back to home port today.
