Tuesday March 4: Why is the Boat Listing???
We've developed a serious list. Not a written paper and pencil list but a serious tilt of the boat to the starboard.
As soon as anything that can roll is dumped onto the table, it heads rapidly to the right side of the table.
Check the fuel tanks - is one closed off so we're drawing from only the port tank? Are the water tanks emptying at different rates or is one leaking?
We were really at a loss as to why the boat has now developed this serious tilting to the side. It's been really noticeable for the past week or so.
And then we figured it out.
Some days we're just plain stupid.
Could it be such a simple thing as the table being crooked? Oh yeah - we were pounding on one end of the table the other day when putting grommets in Werner and Kathy's front cover. The table height is adjustable - just loosen the set bolt toward the bottom of the leg, lift or lower the table and then re-tighten. Fixed - we're no longer listing :-)
I'm getting concerned.
At least once every two weeks or so, the comment comes out of my mouth: we just must be stupid.
Someday we'll outgrow that .....
