| Beaufort Docks by Steve Strickland |
It seems the fuel issues were not over. Dad et al arrived in Beaufort, near Morehead City, North Carolina with complaints of fuel filter issues. They were greeted by marina staff who were eager to help and apparently knowledgeable on what to do. Something about a "gen set" issue. Perhaps you engine gurus can check in below on the comments and educate this sailor on what that is. Meanwhile the fuel system was bled and the diesel was polished. Once again, the only thing I know how to polish around our sailboats is the silver a few of the family have brought home from various regattas over the years. Diesel, it seems, can be extracted from the tank, run through a super filter and replaced - presumably shining and clean.
The crew is all enjoying increasingly warmer weather. Beaufort today boasts 59 F, 7knots of wind and clear skies.
Dad reports that the marinas there are a significant location for boat maintenance and attracts large vessels which dwarf the Monk 36.
