In April we took and passed our Basic Keelboat course with J World Annapolis
Over the winter between 2016 and 2017 we decided to make an accessory for StarKeeper. In order to make it easier to depart especially in the hot part of the season we decided to make a shroud to take the place of the 5 glass panels across the front.
Prince William Marina once again put on a great party to celebrate their customers and slip holders. Thank you Carlton, Debbie, Michelle and the rest of the team over at PWM for another amazing event.
Every boat owner knows that these things require maintenance to stay in top running order. On this maintenance we inspect the genset water impeller and we finally got around to swapping the hinge on the cockpit fridge.
Prince William Yacht Club and Prince William Marina put on an amazing event every year in September called the Pirates Night on the Hook. Its more than just a raft up. The bring the barge out and set up grilling. Its one of the major events that they put on throughout the year.
Prince William Yacht Club holds an annual overnight raft up at Three Sisters, North of Francis Scott Key Bridge.
We took a trip down to Tims II in Fairview Beach. Due to the wind levels we ended up heading back after the fireworks. Obviously a rocking boat and a long shutter exposure didn't allow for taking pictures of the fireworks.
We decided to go hang out in Mattawoman Creek with the new Murphy's Law.
We took some of our Camping Friends up to one of the most peaceful spots on the river, Three Sisters. Located North of Georgetown just above the Francis Scott Key Bridge its our favorite place in DC.
The engines in our 340 are the Mercruiser 8.1L GM made gas engines. Infortunately the Fuel Cooling Unit has a manufacturing defect that causes paint to accumulate in the injectors and pressure regulator. This was the work to remedy this. Special thanks to Chip from Prince William Marina for letting me tag along and learn.
Our longest run so far. We traveled from The Occoquan River to Smith Island, MD.
