Sunrise goodbye to Great Wicomico

As promised, Jim from Ampro visited Ferrity last Monday afternoon. Listening to the symptoms and then landing an experienced eye, nose, and feel on the oil, Jim suspected fuel dilution and recommended an engine oil analysis.

Oil analysis confirmed suspicion, fuel pump ordered, and Jim installed on Saturday morning. A big thank you to Jim of Ampro.

After seven nights and several hundred dollars, it was time to say goodbye to Reedville. Settled dockage with Charles at The Crazy Crab Saturday evening and finished with salad and fudge brownie sundae.

Sunday morning sunrise goodbye to Great Wicomico River.

Short motor and yet another freaking tow

Posted on October 28, 2018November 28, 2018 by Gybe

Motored out of Mill Creek looking forward to a great sail towards Hampton when the motor acted up again. A few harrowing seconds of a runaway engine and a lot of white smoke before I shut it down.

Justin from Reedville TowboatUS towed Ferrity to The Crazy Crab dock in Reedville.

The restaurant opens at noon and when the owner – Charles – arrived, I asked about local mechanics. He gave me a couple of contacts. Despite it being Sunday afternoon, I was able to talk with Lynn at Ampro Shipyard at in Weems, VA. Lynn would have their mechanic – Jim – contact me Monday.
