3rd week...no major disasters and a successful day on the water

Yay for us! Lol

We went about 60 miles round trip yesterday. Took 4 of our marina neighbor's with us and went to Middendorf's on Lake Maurepas for lunch.
Weather was great and the lake was calm until we got there. A nasty thunderstorm popped up and the winds really picked up. Docking the boat was quite nerve wrecking. The boat has a new booboo where we hit the dock. Oops.
We hung out there until the weather passed. Lake Pontchartrain had about 3 ft swells on the way back but laid down when we got closer to the northshore. Boat handled that little bit great.

Everytime we go out is a new learning experience so we're soaking it all in.

Only a couple of problems...

The generator for some reason isn't running both AC's which it previously did just fine. We ran it the whole time we were out yesterday with one AC on. He's gonna try it again today and then get to troubleshooting.

The float for the aft bilge pump came unattached. That made a red light on the instrument panel on the lower helm come on. And that's all I know about that. Lol

Hubby did something with the AC drain lines and now the AC's seem to be working better and the water discharge isn't as warm he said.

Oh and the trac-vision isn't cooperating. Haven't even fooled with that yet.

A few more days of vacation and playing with the boat and then back to reality. Sigh.
