Sailing Aug 25-28, 2016
Crew: Brian L, Andrew C, Eric T, Betsy M, Kate S, Jason R, Anna D, Noah C
Trip Highlights/Route:
Thursday:
- Arrived late, via Bent Paddle brewery in Duluth; Noah waited out a cold
- Novice cocktail creation attempts
Friday:
- Noah joined us ~8:30am
- Bought fly swatters, redundantly
- Betsy ran to Bayfield on the highway, back with mint
- Departed marina, sails up right away, shifty winds
- Took turns kayaking shipwrecks in Red Cliff Bay, motored nearby (motoring ~30min)
- Engine alarmed (IMT - "intake manifold temperature" >200°F)
- Let engine cool under sail, debugged (in a few hours had cooled to 147°F; idling [neutral] helped cool faster)
- Motored again SE of Oak Island (alarmed again, temp >200°F with ~1500 rpm for ~15min)
- Shut off engine for duration (Primary concern: melting turbo charger, leading to fire, destroying engine and/or boat.)
- Sailed to Anchorage N side of Oak Island, anchored under sail power, dark; 2 anchor attempts (motor needed on 2nd attempt ~10 seconds)
- (Oak beach was closed due to bear that had gotten too friendly.)
- Dinner: fajitas/tacos
- Jason slept on deck, dreamt he was fighting himself.
Saturday:
- Breakfast in anchorage, eggs & bacon
- Swam, some to shore
- Planned remainder of trip (re: impaired motor). As SW winds forecasted for Sunday, sailed back Saturday wind power only. Wind shifty, light.
- Hammock deployed
- Attempted slackline deployment, decided against
- Rained on & off
- Early-dinner steaks, coleslaw, etc
- Drive-by of Long Island lighthouses; too wavy, windy for kayaks
- Arrived at Marina ~9pm. Sailed to mouth of marina; docked. (idle-forward used ~15 seconds total, intake temp increased from 147 to 171°F)
- Relaxed; late-dinner: sandwiches to order, by Jason
Sunday:
- Walked to Bayfield via Brownstone trail (shops, ice cream wild berries on trail)
