So today was the big day. After weeks of waiting on minor repairs, we were setting out on our tour from North Myrtle Beach to our home port in Wrightsville Beach. The steering issue was an easy fix, luckily. However, now we have a problem with the generator cutting off after a couple of minutes, load or no load. Water comes out of the side of the boat, and generator will start right back up no problem. It almost feels like someone hit the rocker switch to turn it off. Doesn't sound like fuel starvation either. I will be digging into that myself tomorrow. If it's too big for me then we will call someone to come check it out.
Oh, and surprisingly, near the end of our trip in the ICW between Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach we saw another 290DA with the same exact paint, colors, and year model (2001ish). Mirror image. Hopefully you browse these forums, because we waved at you guys!
Anyway, here are the pics from our 4.5 hour trip. Enjoy!

Note to self and others. Do NOT go through the ICW/Shallotte Inlet entrance. You will run aground. Followed the markers and bouys with precision and ran aground 4 times today trying to get past this stretch of water. After 20 minutes we finally got free after nearly calling the Coast Guard, who were putting out bouys nearby.
Sunken trawler that has been around for years.
