Did the sea trial today, went pretty good F/B helm needs rebuilt is the only problem, got the shaft log packing adjusted temp running is 94f. We will provision tomorrow do laundry & start downriver Monday unless Jim decides to stay here & order a seal kit to fix the helm pump. Went thru L&D #3 to Treasure Island topped off the fuel tanks then back south to the top end of Pepin lake & then returned to Ole Mis marina, having grilled porterhouse steaks, tomatoes & corn on the cob for dinner. Right after a scotch & water:-)
