Latest drama in "Let's Fix the Motor!"

The parts showed up this morning but the SPECIAL TOOLS did not! The Volvo Dealer forgot to send with the order..... So, I was told MAYBE Tuesday will be the soonest.. Well, darn it! That's just not gonna work for me... So, I made a bunch of trips back and forth to the dealer trying to get something to work for me... In the end, the mechanic suggested just putting a copper washer down in the injector sleeve as a temp fix... It works, but I would not want to motor all day for the next 7 days to get back to Gig Harbor. Oh yaaaaa.... I have a sailboat! daaaa! Well, if the winds will cooperate with me, I'll sail non-stop to the first US port of entry.

I plan on avoiding all motoring spots and heading back to Gig... I still have to go to work at the end of the month and anymore problems could be a major pain.

I know this is all part of owning a boat... but I was having such good luck so... Oh well...

This is such a crazy marina! It's almost all stern tie or rafting with your neighbor... I've seen some very close calls with boats maneuvering around in tight spots. I had a tough time of it as well, but I didn't hit anyone or scare too many people! hahah

Cheers! from Pizza place! yum yum!
