It was a successful week. We got the vibration in our port engine taken care of and were relieved that it wasn’t something major. We missed the bad weather that hit many areas around Annapolis and Baltimore, and have made it to New Jersey, our 8th state!

This week, the boat was hauled out to see if we could figure out the wiggle in the port propeller shaft. It turns out that there were multiple issues: a bad cutlass bearing and a slight misalignment in the propeller. Between the heat, every day was over 100°, and the July 4th holiday, what should have been a three-day job stretched through the week. We spent most of the time just trying to keep cool!
