The 2011 boating season has started for us splashing Sandy’s Beach on 3/17. The splash was not without incident though as my raw water pump seized up on the port engine. We replaced it the following day and by the weekend we were ready. Saturday was very windy so I did not feel like messing with that, but on Sunday the wind was down and the Gunpowder was flat. We took her out and blew out all the engine fogging with a good run out to the bay and back, on the way back a stop at Maxwell Point for dinner was in order. All in all a great day and a good start, we can deal with the pump issue, after all she’s a boat!
