Now that many of the structural projects were done, I was catching a second wind. It was just past mid-summer (for our neck of the woods) and folks at the club were already talking about the Down the Bay Cruise in September and the subsequent Pig Roast. Now that The Beast was in, I wanted to fix the fuel guage on the newly painted aluminum fuel tank. The original 12 gallon tank had been reduced to 8 gallons by the first owner who wanted more storage room. Cruising the northern Chesapeake, an 8 gallon is ok with a 10hp Westerbeke. The Beast burns around a gallon an hour when iron sailing and there are plenty of marinas in the area.
