We had a great trip in a nice spot on the North East side of Warm Creek Bay.
We didn't have any trouble with the engines. Both started up and ran fine. The large fenders that Scott installed are great. We ran out of time so we had Marina Svcs fuel it and dump the sewage, but the fenders made it nice to bring it back into the slip. When we first arrived the boat had a terrible odor in it. After searching everywhere we found another nice big rat squished in the folding part of the couches. I believe the Bulloch family may have been sleeping with a furry little friend. Ha Ha. One of our friends owns a Pest control company. He came down later and brought some traps. We didn't catch any others and didn't find any trace.
I agree with Scott concerning the fridges. They worked, but not as good as usual. If anyone knows they won't be using the boat for their entire week, Id suggest to have someone look at them while it's in the slip and not being used.
Scott had also told me that the propane hose on the fly bridge was leaking. We just ran off the one hose while we were there. I called L.P Tenders and asked them to repair it. I just received a text today that both hoses were bad and that they replaced them Tuesday 8/15.
We didn't run the A/C for more than about 1 hr, so I don't know if it's still having issues or not.
Have fun and be safe out there.

Another great trip
Another great time on Powell. We went over to Gunsight bay and found a really nice beach. The water is high and staying pretty steady. I brought two new propane tanks ( a 5 and a 7.5) both labeled for Dock Holiday. This will give us an extra for each size to trade out with LP tenders. I also installed large fenders on both sides of the boat to protect it better. Hopefully that will take care of the vent cover problem. I noticed that the starboard engine is starting a little sluggishly. Also the refrigerators are working but not well. They might need more coolant or other service. It might be a good idea to plan meals with a minimum of refrigerator need until we can get them serviced. Other than that all ran perfectly. If anyone has tried the anchor straps, let me know your thoughts. I really like them better than the come-alongs.
