The haul for the transducer 'fix' was a little more complicated than originally envisioned. We wanted to get a new stuffing box installed at the same time but that didn't work out. They splashed us before we could sand the transducers. So they gave us a free short-haul so we could sand the 'ducers. Then back to Shipwright we went. Doesn't look much better! We'll see how they perform during the family daysail.

Our daysail was originally going to be a
weekend trip to St. Michael's but the weather was forecast on the nose at 15-25 kts. As we have stated before, Gentlemen do not go to windward and we did not want to subject Lilli to a bumpy ride on her first cruise. To keep the crew busy, Bob drove Chris and the kids around the harbor in the dinghy. Everything worked including the outboard. Last night, the gang slept in Jule. It was a bit crowded but it was great having them on board.

Weather today is light SE with waves less than one foot. Not bad. We headed out around 1200 ET and passed Herring Bay #1 by 1245. At 1246, Lilli decided she wanted to go home. Gina seconded the thought. After a few futile minutes of coaxing them that sailing was fun, we turned Jule around and arrived back at the dock at 1430. Oh, the transducers still are not working. So we will schedule yet another haul but only after we sail to the SSCA Annapolis Gam in the Rhode River next weekend.
