WhimSea's Log

We slept in far later then we had intended, and therefore got a fairly late start on the day. No matter, the sun was shining and the day was looking pretty darn gorgeous.

We flushed WhimSea's tank's and in the process discovered we appeared to be pumping out as much water as we were putting on. There was clearly a leak somewhere on the boat. Process of elimination ruled out the tanks themselves, the entry points, and exits and eventually we discovered that the hot water heater's valve was left open so whenever we charged the tank, it put water into the hot water heater and leaked out again. Troy fixed that and we were back to filling up with water and working on spring commissioning projects.

Troy put a couple more rod holders on the boat as well as worked on making sure she was ready for fishing.

There's lots of folks at the marina now, which is excellent to see and also means lots of time spent catching up. Bruce was there getting KC II ready for splashing and Blueberry stepped their mast and put in as well. Scott came by to check on Dolce and make sure she was ready for splashing by Memorial Day.

We eventually got out on the water for a little fishing. We tested out the Yellow Birds, put out a Deeper Diver and a Dipsy. The sun was very warm on our faces, especially on the run towards Two Harbors, but when we turned around for the return trip, it got a mite cold with the wind picking up off the lake.

We headed into the marina to a good dinner and more visiting with friends. And Troy pumped Don for fishing secrets and decided on the next days strategy to get some fish. (Don took pity on us as well as shared some Salmon! Thank you Don!)
