The week spent at the Marina turned out to be productive. Wayfarer hauled the Rose out for a day. They blasted the bottom, replaced zincs and changed the prop pitch from 57 to 55 degrees. The lower pitch should let the engine rev to full 3600 rpm but we will see when I get back to the boat mid May. Seacoast Marine in Oriental is making a few changes to the SSB hook up that should get rid of most of the RFI. I also re-organized supplies, spare parts and equipment, a lot of which I removed and shipped to Maine via UPS. Here is a recent pic of Rose going back in the water.
