Sun rising at 0645
There's the "peek!"
Passing ship
The Navy Hospital ship is usually berthed in
Baltimore, MD; however, is now down here for work
Another passing ship...
We are having N.Y Style Deli Rye homemade bread!!
First time I have made fresh bread and first time
using the bread maker
The view from our port (left) side
and mile marker 0
The view from our starboard side....
you guessed it!
"Dream Catcher" getting to the anchorage site
Gary & Jayne all bundled up....me on the other hand
is in a pair of shorts and short sleeve t-shirt!
I forgot to take a picture of my bread!
Boy was it good!
Oh no! Bob just checked the engines and found this
MAJOR transmission leak in the motor on the starboard side!
No, he's not happy!
Today was a good day. We left at 0645 this morning and had a beautiful ride. We probably averaged 7 knots throughout the day. We even put the jib up! Listen to me, I'm talking like I had anything to do with any of this! My duties lie somewhere else!
While Bob was enjoying his day at the helm I on the other hand was quite busy. Not only did I fix Bob another duck omelet and coffee for breakfast, but I did dishes, read a book and took a much deserved nap! After my nap I relieve him for 30 minutes...I felt that was plenty of time! I also baked bread, cooked some pasta, deboned chicken, etc. now I need another nap!
Jayne & Gary came over for dinner tonight. After we said our good-byes, Bob came in and checked the engines and this is what he found, a transmission fuel leak! He is now downstairs sending a "very nice email" to the company who came out and worked on our boat when it was pulled just prior to our leaving. We are still leaving in the a.m., 0445 so we can clear two bridges before they close completely between the hours of 0630-0900.
Yowza, I hope there's no trouble getting the tranny fixed. The bread maker sounds like a great feature to the boat.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's still cold where you are?

We could probably limp on it through the whole trip but we just spent a few thousand on it just to make sure this problem wouldn't occur! We'll wait and see what the company says that worked on it. Hopefully they will take responsibility for it. Bread was an excellent addition! 65 again today which makes for a fine day!
