Whew!!!

So we bought a new engine.  Diesel engines cost an obscene mount of money.  We waited and waited for it to arrive, and stuffed it into the engine room.



It is an optical illusion--it really fits fine

 

  There is this little voice gnawing at the back of your mind.  What if you get it all ready, and it won't start/doesn't work out/blows up.  What if you put it in forward and it goes backward because you misunderstood something.  Etc. Etc.  Worry, Worry.  Today, no worries.  Varuna will be joining our sailing buddies again next week.  We did our sea trials today.  The boat is quieter, smoother, and better behaved than it has ever been.
