1988 Rogue 2420

Sit right there and we will tell you a tale.....a tale of a fateful trip







A few boats on shore on the Manatee River

 

[Scott Danforth]

#$@&! Wasps built nests in the boat again.

Got a new filter/spark arrestor for the rogue. Next week to recaulk the rub rails

 

[Scott Danforth]

The more we use the boat, the more things we find need work

Hour meter quit sometime this year, courtesy lights quit working, NMEA gateway for fuel level quit working.

Replaced anti-siphon.

Need to redo the headliner and finish the closet and shelves

This is a very sad ending!

Yesterdays's celebration of another successful celestial star orbit netted a 13 gallon fresh water tank and a transom swim shower.... will go hand in hand with the pump, fill, and a few other bits squirreled away in my parts bins

will break away a bit to work on the boat.

Bittersweet..... Lost my good friend Jeff to cancer a few weeks ago. His widow offered some boat stuff.

Two ditch bags, wet suit, air horns, Bennett repair kits, dock lines, ski ropes, dock step, spare anchor, small fuel tank

Sorry for that loss. Seems harder losing contemporaries. Worse when they have to suffer though cancer.

 

[Scott Danforth]

This was skin cancer that metastasized. I do not wish that on anyone

Thoughts still with his and your family

Haven't used the boat for a while .... Rain ever weekend, then hurricanes. Spent a few hours scrubbing Salt Shaker.

Next weekend, have to clean the cabin as lizards, Frigs, and humidity did their best to trash the boat

The 3M 4200 is failing again on the run rail. A write up coming

 

[Scott Danforth]

Ok, so after removing insect and amphibians from the boat, loading up everyone.......the channels are gone from the hurricanes...... The water is too skinny to making it from the launch to deeper water unless the tide is in.

I should have swapped props, as 10 people in the boat made it a pig trying to get out of the hole.....

Ran out of deep channel and buried the drive in the mud

Knowing a tow would be hours. Decided to jump in and push. Got it 300 yard to water deep enough to lower the drive..... Came back without cooling water

Will look at that after the 26th

Ahh Christmas memories
