Tania is away on course in Vancouver and Brooke is at home looking after the kids, so what better time for a little Cadboro Bay Sailing?!

Actually yesterday would have been better. More sunshine and wind but hey, at least I got the cushions off the boat yesterday. I rigged main and Jenny and managed to get almost an hour of sailing in before the wind died. I returned to the mooring buoy and soon had a warm fire crackling in the wood stove.

I'm concerned about the mighty Yanmar diesel engine. I couldn't seem to get past 3.8 Kts. She sounded fine, wasn't missing at all, just couldn't get T2 up to hull speed. One thought I had was perhaps the transmission isn't fully engaging in forward. Since my modification of the broken throttle cable, I've always wondered if there is enough play left int he cable to fully engage the transmission. Guess I'll have to play with it some more.
