Last practice before checkout! (Not really, just thought so at the time sadly. Zero wind the next day so have to reschedule after my trip.) We went over everything! The wind was lousy so spent most of it going over systems and inspecting rigging, engine, bilge (he fixed the float so
oump works now.) checked transmission fluid which doesn't look right so need to change when doing other overhaul stuff. Figured out how to run the bilge pump manually. Went over full checkout list orally. Then did a terrible miserable bit of attempted sailing/pob and gave up. Did anchor at edge of turning basin and got fouled on crab pot line or something. Felt the boat jump when it finally gave. Eeek. Docked ok at the end.
