I have a newly installed engine in the boat. I installed it my self. Its a 2gm20F Runs like a top. it was no easy task, I learned a lot through the process. I don't want to do it ever a gain. However it gave me a classroom environment to learn the systems on my boat like none other. Almost no sailor on my docks has the skill to clean water out no there fuel system. to challenge them to do maintenance on there boat is quite sad. I'm keenly aware of the safety of the systems on my boat, from swedge fittings to keel bolt tension, to extra belts filters, I even keep an extra injector. I know the boat is able and ready. Now me you may have some reason for concern. I have not done an overnight before. This will be my first. I'm 45 to 90 days out. I have to learn some ware. I have been sailing the waters of Port Royal sound and St Helena sound the Morgan river to the north and the Broad rivet to the south. and Again there will be a capable sailor on board. He has been instructed to let me do it!!!
