HEADING EAST TODAY - NOT!

I MAY HAVE BEEN TOO OPTIMISTIC?
Prodigal died when we pulled the anchor and tried to motor from the harbor.  Something still 'just ain right.'  I'm back on the phone with Doug to try and figure it out.  (darn it)

Hi Skip my new phone # is 1242 471 0658. I'm in West bay. David is leaving today.
My thought on your problem is that you need to have the fuel polished.
Call if you can.
