We had a lovely trip to Powell Sept 6-11. There are a few things. Mike went under the boat and greased the steering. It is much more accurate when motoring along and a small adjustment when steering is all that is needed to change directions.... of course she still requires some room to turn. The leak in the steering remains and a small amount of fluid leaks out when in use. Just replace it as needed. The BBQ had to be repaired. We did not understand what needed replaced but came perpared to try to make her work again. A splice turn out to be our only option. Now the regulator is either all the way on or completely off. The wire holds it all together. Notice that the regulator has a nipple to direct the connection to the grill. Please be careful when assembling and disassembling for storage. We hung a new mirror and hope everyone will enjoy it. Everything ran great for us. We were delayed the last day because the power to the sewage pumping station went down while we were there. After waiting an hour for it to work we were told it might be down all day. We went to Bullfrog to pump. When we arrived there was some garbage left on the boat that had really gotten very ripe. We know that these things sometimes happen but want to remind everyone that going through the check out list can help remind us to take care of everything before we leave the boat.

Have fun sailing in the land of blue skies and red rock!
