On Wednesday morning I got up and tried to adjust the steering quadrant to make the steering wheel symmetrical to architectural specifications.
Darla texted me from the sandbars so I motored out to the sandbars in the morning.
It appears I had adjusted the steering the wrong way. And the steering cable was too loose, causing lots of vibration. Probably causing the rudder shaft to vibrate.

We had a couple of beers floating at the sandbars and making good use of Chingos' bimini in the heatwave. Tara, Zig-Zag, Thalassa III anchored around us.
.
We went our separate paths around six as Darla went to PC and I sailed towards Dowkers and when I started the motor, the steering was making noises again
A powerboat just departed the middle of the bat and I grabbed the prized spot to anchor
I readjusted the steering the other way, tightened the cables and had supper.
Thursday morning I left Dowkers, sailed towards the Gut and then sailed around hunting for SLVYRA racing marks out there. Then I returned to the club.
The steering was much better.
