Prepping for our 18 day cruise at end of June we did a 5 day one. Had an accident leaving the dock and broke the dinghy transom
Repairs already underway.
Very pleased with the performance of the boat. Cruised at 3500 RPM, Avg speed 25 MPH with a fuel consumption of 22 GPH.
Spent 2 consecutive nights at anchor Carthew Bay, Lake Simcoe. House bank never dropped below 12.3 volts, warm days and both fridges stayed cold. I do run the genset for an hour in the morning and at dinner time. Found some staining on the Pigmat under the STBD engine power steering pump so will look into that. I don't think the reservoir was too full. Overall a great trip.
