  • Heading out to Pools Island to shake things up.
  • A storm is brewing. Glad I am back in my slip.

I needed to empty the holding tanks as I had filled them with Raritan HT to help clean the tanks and the hoses. So, it took a quick trip to Maryland Marina pump out. But first, I thought it would be better if I shook them up for a bit. I headed out of the river on a run, jibbing back and forth eventually getting out of the river towards Pools Island. Once out there the wind died down. I noticed that the wind was best out of coming out of the river so I tacked back and forth on my way back in. Finally I tacked one last time over at Sue Creek when I arrived at the channel I headed into the wind and drop the sails. I motored to Maryland Marina and pumped everything out. The aft tanked went to zero. But the forward tank was 15%. But once again you can hear that it was empty so I returned back to my slip just in time before a dark cloud arrived bringing rain and strong winds. Mission HT pump out complete.
