Day 1 Oct 17
We arrived at Kenlake at 4:00PM and installed the new chain anchor rode. Stripes were painted every 30 feet so we can tell how much rode is out and stop before the end is ripped out of the boat and into the water losing both the anchor and the rode. Rick Nance, our master mechanic came by and explained all the work he had done to prepare the Katy Leigh for the trip. In particular he pointed out how I had been overfilling the oil in the injection pump for the past 4 years.
I look forward to learning about the cruise. We have lived aboard our own sail boat now for 7 years getting ready to go. This is really written by someone who had done what I look forward to do~
Thanks
