The 2011 Selene Owner’s Rendezvous is over

It is a sunny but cool Sunday morning in Roche Harbor and most of the 31 Selene's attending this year's gathering have left, either starting their trip north to Alaska, or returning to their home ports. We intended to leave this morning also, but several events transpired to delay our departure by one day, including a newly discovered main engine coolant leak. Three boats have headed north already and we expect to see them along the way.

The three day program this year included a number of seminars including one by Cummins Northwest on preparing for long distance cruising, including emergency repairs and spare parts. Very timely, since that is how we discovered the coolant leak.

Except for that leak, Spirit is ready to go! We have tested all the systems, including launching the tender.

We expect to go to either Ganges or Nanaimo tomorrow.
