Well the engine cooling system is apart. There were weeds clogging the heat exchanger but there must also be a leak in the exchanger because the antifreeze is actually pure lake water. I found one on eBay so I hope I can get it here quickly. If not I will just sail back home and do the full repair after the boat hauls out.
Back in July I was the Tactician on Gypsy Wind out of Tuscarora Yacht Club here in Wilson. This is the third year I've done this race with these guys. Last year we won our division. This year we not only won our division but on corrected time we actually won overall. The owner of the boat (Ernie) wanted me to go to the awards banquet and had made reservations for Michele and I. We emailed him a few weeks ago to let him know that we would be away cruising so wouldn't be able to go to the awards night. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the engine failure brought us to Wilson and we are moored right next to Gypsy Wind so off we go by car to Port Credit to the Lake Ontario 300 awards banquet with the rest of the crew and then back to Wilson that night.
