Re – log entry of Oct 31 on portable gas tank & Task list items relating to blower & the fact that the dingy ran out of gas at the dock on the AM of Nov 1 and I had to row to Nevermore to get gas.
Why was the decision made to remove the external dingy tank and store the gas on Nevermore? Storing gas on the boat doesn’t seem to be a good idea to me if we can avoid it . If we reverted to keeping all gasoline on the dingy wouldn’t we eliminate the need for moving the blower? Also keeping tabs on the gasoline supply for the dingy would be simpler if the gas was all in one place. I strongly suggest that we keep all gasoline on the dingy in the 2010 season.
Also there seem to be conflicting opinions on keeping PFDs on the dingy – re log item. I make it a practice of wearing a lifejacket on the dingy and as I often do not bring my personal w/ me, I take one of Nevermore’s and secure it to the bottom of the seat when I leave. In order to ensure the Nevermore was not deficient in the # of PFDs I donated one of my type IIIs to the boat. Also it is a requirement that everyone on the dingy has a jacket. I think it should be Nevermore policy to have at least two PFDs on dingy at all time.
For Task list I plan to add the following; Dingy: scrap bottom and clean all surfaces, repaint all grey wood, find and repair air leak on starboard side, fix or replace oar locks, have engine serviced and winterized, renew MA registration, replace reg #s that have fallen off.
Winches: Take off outer shell, visually examine and if all seems OK grease exposed bearings. With the exception of the centerboard winch I do not believe that the winches need to be disassembled this season. The centerboard winch was not cleaned internally last year as it was the first one I attempted and I was at the beginning of my learning curve. I reassembled before understanding how to clean all internal parts.
