No sailing weekend

I went early to Access to get butt connectors for the washdown pump.  I had to hunt down some cream cheese for the smoked salmon I had.

Daniele got to the club before I did.

I helped Amanda and Robin with a C&C 33 at the fuel dock.  They just launched and was having some engine problems.  They told me someone at PCYC was looking for a C&C 27 (Not Bruce).


At 7, a small storm came in and by 7:30, we were not keen on leaving.  Did not want to push our luck with Daniele after last week's successful weekend.  We bbq hamburger.


The Nova Kool guy suggested we move the thermostat bulb to the colder plate because our icebox was better insulated than normal.  It seemed to work.

Saturday we had bacon and eggs. 

There was no wind so we oiled the teak and I finished the wash down pump wiring.  At first it was not priming. I thought it might have been a kick in the intake, but after manually forcing the valve in the anchor locker

Saturday night we had a lousy supper at Barbie's (never again) and Daniele went home for her mass and I slept at the boat. Julie-Hélène returned a screw driver, missing the Philips bit.  I told her and she said she would bring it back the next time, but she make a special trip to return it 15 minutes later.  She was very tired but I guess she felt back since she could not move the boat without my generous loaning of the tools to get her boat started.

Sunday Chris, Norm and I were supposed to try sailing in the morning,but there was no wind so we cancelled.  I waxed Cygnus and helped Norm put up the genoa and then did the nautical flea market.
