Saturday 24th May:
We left Deltaville two days ago and are now edging north up into Cheasepeake Bay.
Our 'shakedown cruise' is going to plan. The roller reefing had to be re-done, the depth- sounder is temperamental, (a good thing that we have forward looking sonar). The boat speed is too fast, has to be re-calibrated. The new anchor chain is a dream to work. The steering-gear box is fine. The new Isolator and charger put in by Schroeder's yard is working well including the new boat batteries. The WC Electo- Scan treatment unit is working well.
I could have bought a couple of small cars for the bill we paid Schroeder's!
David is servicing the outboard motor for the dinghy right now, as it was dead when we went ashore last night, and still refusing to wake up the from its winter sleep.
We are enjoying lovely weather , but the wind is northerly, so we will probably stay here at this nice anchorage in Reedville till Monday.
