It was a nice run up to St. Pete today. As the picture below of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge makes clear, there's wasn't any traffic to contend with. We made it under the bridge without having to lower the mast. It was close though with only 425' to spare ;-)
I found two more leaks today. One from the rudder's packing gland and another from the waterlift muffler. The first is an easy fix. The second, not so easy. Especially since I don't exactly know where the fiberglass muffler is leaking. I'll remove it and do a visual inspection--which is easier said than done.
2015 has certainly been the year of water leaks. Fortunately the year is almost over. Just in case the woes are going to continue Bicki and I batted around some new names for Nellie. Con Leaki tops the list.
33nm today and 106nm for the trip. DBH
