Good work day

Friday was one of those days: Swing by the boat and notice that the epoxy in the 3/8 padeye mounting holes hasn’t set up. Drive to Alameda to get a water pump impeller, get stuck in traffic. Drive to Quantum to pick up the sails, discover that they’ve knocked off for the long weekend. That night, for the first time ever, and right after I finished the 100 hour service, then engine wouldn’t even turn over.

Saturday, on the other hand, we got a lot done. Bob, Garth, Shana and Heather all came down to sail, so we turned it into a work day instead. First, the engine turned out to be a loose inline fuse holder between the solenoid and the relay. The epoxy had set up after an extra 2 days. (Note, even though I love TAP, their epoxy sucks. It’s just too hard to nail a 4-to-1 mix in the field. I’m going back to the System 3, or maybe to MAS.) Then I discovered the power of ten hands are faster than two. Lots of crossing out on the lists below.

Thanks everybody.
