    Video- Working Engine Sea Trials

    After a California winter of long hours working on my engine, it is now working great.

    A big thanks to you guys for helping me through a (seemingly) very complicated set of problems.

    Here is a video showing the repairs and sea trials.

    Hope you like it!

            Nice work Rick - great video!



            Your boat looks a little small amongst all of those ocean-liners at the marina though...

            Happy sailing.

              Big boats

              Yes, I am one of the smaller boats! Makes it easier to get out of the marina

              A lot of rich silicon valley types have their boats here.

              One guy arrives piloting his private helicopter then goes "yachting"...

              It is true though that I get the most fun out of my Catalina/Atomic-4. Maybe it's the proximity to the office...

              You'd be amazed how many of those big boats almost never leave the marina. And with those slip fees!

                A 'Dead Head in Frisco, who knew?

                I'm warming up the chopper right now—I'll be down in a few hours. Put the beer on ice, let's go sailing

                Thanks for the vid. I can't wait to get to my own boat in May.

                    Rick,

                    I finally took the time to watch the video and you're right, she does sound sweet. Like the way she starts too, was that a cold, full choke start?
