Hi all,
We're back on the move, sort of, and using the ICW through North Carolina. Our transmission was rebuilt and we had the alignment of engine to shaft adjusted and new packings for the stuffing box. The result so far has been a very noticeable improvement in engine performance so we're very happy.
We've travelled from Beaufort to Belhaven, about 10 hours, and have had several T-Storms pass over us. Our VHF decided to take a siesta when we were coming into a marina and we had noticed the auto pilot didn't follow the course we set like it had before. We weren't close to any lightning but I heard some static during a course change. The radio is back working after I checked the fuse and jiggled the wires. I'm pretty sure it will eventually die along the remaining miles home. Not so sure what the auto pilot is doing. Might have been linked to the radio.
We're going to wait until the good weather this weekend to travel in case other issues arise. Checking the calendar we've been in this state over a month, they must really like us here.
All U Get
