Motor time

Trip dates: 
Thursday, August 25, 2022
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail
  • new homemade composite batten
  • flat calm in the cove
  • ugh...gasoline and noise

Went down to PSA to see if the homemade batten fit (fir strip with layer of biax tape on each side) and go for a sail and maybe join the Thursday Night Flying Scott folks for some casual racing. 

Excpet: there was no wind once a big blob of convection went by to the northwest.  So I used the flat calm to put an hour on the outboard.  It had been sitting for a few months unused, and we all know what that portends with ETOH mix petrol.  So we went for a motorboat ride. Not my first choice, for sure, but pleasant enough.
