Well, I have good news and bad news.....

Bad.... JUNESSA's 2003 Volvo 3-cyclinder diesel motor decided to blow a fuel injector liner....

Good... It happened 20 minutes from a good size town with a Volvo Dealer right by the docks!!! Their mechanic insisted on checking out the motor... His assessment and mine were the same... go figure!

Bad... Mech decided we couldn't salvage the injector sleeve...and they didn't stock any of the parts or special tools, and that I would have to buy the tools... :(

Good... they assured me that all parts and tools will be here Saturday and the Mechanic will install the parts...

Bad... big bucks! $$$$$$$ ouch!

Good.... This is a really nice town!!! Reminds me of Duluth Minnesota...

last one... BAD!!! I had to hike up the hill to use the internet at a little coffee shop. Nothing near the boat! :(

Wish me luck and a cheap bill!

Here's a few shots of prepping the boat for the long ride NORTH to Gig Harbor, Wa. It took about 5 hours to prep and load her up.

Here's a few shots of my 1985 28 foot Bristol Channel Cutter (BCC) built in Vancouver, BC. She's a full keel fiberglass hull with teak and mahogany wood throughout. She's powered by a Volvo 28hp diesel.

I had a great day learning how to sail my BCC. The learning curve was a little steeper than I had anticipated. The day ended pretty crappy... I couldn't get the engine out of gear and I plowed into the back side of a large powerboat in the slip next to me. OUCH!

This was the first day on board Junessa. I looked in every corner on board and climbed to the top of the mast! I had Chinese food and Corona Beer then feel asleep to some beautiful candle light and music.
