2020 was a year of limited sailing. Put the boat in late... and took it out early... COVID-19 put the damper on a lot of activities. Marinas closed or limited services meant not taking any trips outside New Brunswick waters. The boat was almost a floating cottage in the harbour this past summer.

One trip to Grand Manan with my daughter and her partner, and a few weekend trips around Campobello up towards Blacks Harbour. Other than that day sails around the Passamaquoddy Bay.
Boats are long out and covered up for the winter. Hopefully can get down and work on the boat this winter on those warmer days...
This years major project was hauling the engine (Perkins 4.108M) out of the boat ...which was working good, but needs the high pressure fuel pump rebuilt or replaced. I figure I might as well get an overhaul to refresh some tired looking parts.
Once on the shipping pallet a few jobs I can do before shipping it off to a Marine Mechanic for re-conditioning.
