Unfamilliar Sound of a Generator


After 10 days of delays, frustration and crippling bills, Charles was able to restore Alana's generator to near-new condition (the condition one might expect an engine with 217 hours on it) about 6:00 p.m. last night. After nearly $4,000 in repairs, it does feel good to know that it should remain in this condition with minimal maintenance and regular use. The repair entailed a new starter, new injector, new piston, new cylinder, new exhaust valve, new gaskets and some head work. Once Charles finally departed, Dad and I worked through supper to square Alana away, and clean away all traces of Hurricane Charles.

We sailed from Tidewater Yacht this morning and are on our way to Cape Charles on Virginia's Eastern Shore.....more to follow.
