Hehe thanks.
Woke up in Annapolis.
Tomorrow is our anniversary and it's been way too long since we got out alone together.
So we are going boat shopping for a couple days with an empty wallet. Hopefully recharge a bit and dream alot. None of you are here are you?

Couple modifications before launching this spring.
Put clamshells over the drain holes on the side so spray doesn't come in when they are open under way. (Tested and working well now)
Moved the fuel filler and vent up to the side of the passenger console. The gunnel location was to low and horizontal a run and the vent and fill combo filler always ended up flooding the vent and causing issues back feeding while fueling which turned it into a slow dribble at a time process for fueling. Tested and 'better'.... Much better really, but need to build a wedge to mount it on, mounted on vertical side makes it too easy for fuel to pour back out the filler if done wrong... No issues at all with the vent though so the process is already a lot better.
Cut a hole in the side of the console above the fuel tank and screwed a grate over it for better air flow/ventilation.
Went for a spin the other night and was beautiful out. One picture shows how high the sun is at 8pm
It's been warm this week sun out every day and we been working with the hangar door open enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.

What nice views you get to enjoy regularly!

Is that a lake run or ocean?
