Apparently, when Tom was a little boy he loved to take things apart to find out how they worked. Often, after doing so , the thing would then be broken. Imagine my horror when I found Tom dismantling our brand new engine to check the valve clearances. This was part of the first 50 hour service. Thankfully my clever Captain was able to accomplish this mission without mishap. He then proceeded to change the oil, oil filter and transmission fluid. So now the engine is officially "broken in" and ready to go.

We are hoping to get out for a shakedown sail tomorrow and if that goes OK we should be on track for departure on Monday - although, looking at the long range forecast I suspect Tuesday may be a better day.
