Thursday, June 7 Deer Harbor, Orcas Island

The wind made a lot of  waves hitting the hull most of the night.  Fred has trouble sleeping when we are anchored anyway without the extra noise.  He was ready to go back to bed for a nap by noon.  Instead he dived into a new problem.  When he looked at the dashboard he noticed a hole where the oil pressure gauge for the starboard engine belongs.  Oh goody, a new project.  We haven’t seen what lies under the dashboard before.  Fred had to lift the captain’s chair out of the way and then remove the lower panel under the dashboard.  Actually we were surprised to see the wires ties up in an orderly fashion.  He found the oil pressure gauge and saw where the plastic ring around it had been screwed down too tight and it gave way releasing the gauge. Fred fixed it good as new.
