The Exhaust - She Blows!

The morning was a little foggy and there was a light drizzle in the air, but we were excited to be back underway.  Now the main question was if our repair to the exhaust would work as expected.  I spent some time with Sue to show her the repair and how to check that everything was working as expected.  After we got the big Cats warmed up Sue went below to check everything out every half hour or so for a few hours.

All the connections settled in and held so it looks like we are good to go!

Since I had a little extra time I also took the time to re-bed the Port Fuel Fill port and add a backing plate to our aft midships docking cleat.  It was a productive few days - if not lots off laughs.

Another obstacle overcome.

On we go!
