Jack Robert and Hjortie on the St. Croix
The Glinski Fitting did its job. The thruhull is unobstructed, the raw water is flowing faster and the engine is running cooler. To prove the point we ran at 2200 rpm for about 20 minutes while passing a towboat. I must have looked at the temperature gauge a hundred times. They say a watched pot never boils. Thankfully, the engine felt no need to disprove the point.
Very Low RR Bridge Ahead
We lower the mast and antennas then make a wish as the train passes overhead. My wish? May the reported bridge height be correct. Steel and fiberglass don't mix!

Hudson, Wisconsin to St. Paul, Minnesota
Tonight Nellie's in the Yacht Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was a 44 mile, 7 hour trip by boat. For reference, it takes 25 minutes by car. Who knew the 'road' less traveled was so much slower... Total for the journey is now 4,274 miles. DBH
