Our colder than normal May gave way to warmer weather at the end of the month. As June launched so was I able to launch my rowing dinghy and get some waterborne exercise, finally.

took the new-to-us boat to Haven Harbour today. The trip was only an hour. It is quicker than driving over there. New name, trin tab servo replacement and a few other little things to do.

The first attempt to get the boat over to Chesapeake Harbour for comprehensive cleaning was postponed by the engine problem. Since then, the Cummins folks have been out and found the fuel blockage problem. So now we made the trip over. Red Sky did an amazing job. It looks almost like a new boat!
Now time to load the boat. It looks like moving day onboard.

Got the new Back Cove 37 home and it was time to get it comprehensively cleaned. Our Broker on the purchase, Bill Walczak offered to pay for Red Sky boat detailing o do the job and we gladly accepted. Today I started the trip to Chesapeake Harbour Marina to meet them and suffered engine shutdown leaving Mill creek. I nursed it back to the dock when the engine would restart and anchoring when it wouldn’t. Thank God for the thrusters.
It took days to get Cummins here and it turned out to be yet more algae in the fuel line plugging the fuel pickup hose.

Our Key West 203 DFS arrived today from Florida, courtesy of Joe Walsh, our "boat delivery guy". Joe dropped her at Sandy Point State Park and I brought her around to Mill Creek on a spectacular April morning.
The Key West 203 DFS is a Dual console Fish and Ski boat. It is a much more family friendly runabout than the 17’ center console we have now. So the 17’ boat is on the market.
