Parkside to Hawk Cove: I replaced the hoses to the ot water heater so I wanted to run the engine to be sure there were no leaks with the hoses from the engine to the heater. Also I wanted to create a speed chart (engine RPM to SOG) as I was planning on having the prop pitch increased for better speed. I motored over to Back Creek to document the different speeds at different RPMs. Then I came back to Hawk Cove and anchored out. I had a nice swim and then garlic shrimp an spinach for dinner. I went to bed late as it was quite warm and I sat topside to cool down.
Hawk Cove to Parkside: I was up before sunrise to view the astrological event of seeing 5 planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) simultaneously with the naked eye. I saw them all except Mercury as cloud coverage blocked my view. That was nice but after the sun came up I went back to bed for a few more hours. Finally up for a nice breakfast of sausage and fried eggs then a quick sail around the area and motored back home.
