MOW, Prop


We all walk to breakfast at a new Cafe that includes a museum. Very enjoyable addition to Man-o-War.

After Breakfast walk

After we return to the boats Mark and I fill our boat water tanks. Next we fill our diesel tanks from our diesel rail cans. Then we refill these cans at the MOW Marina fuel dock. They had been out of fuel until yesterday and since their storage tanks have had time to settle down we assume the fuel should be fairly clear a day later.

I borrow a spare prop from Mark since ours is now slipping if we go much faster than idle speed. Yamaha’s don’t have shear pins, they have a rubber hub that breaks loose when over loaded. We went through some weeds the other day, but I did not think it would have been a problem. Wrong. We go for a ride testing out the new prop and south to the East harbor and find Autumn Borne on a mooring, a boat who’s home port is Hop-o-Nose Marina where we put our mast up and down on the Hudson River. Dean and his wife are not currently on their boat.
