A smashing day - overall.
North East Shore (Elkton) Departure
A quick ride up the C&D to Chesapeake City for lunch.
Then a quick shot over to the Bohemia River to throw anchor for a bit.
A flawless day, really.
A few Questions / Observations on this maiden voyage...
Were going to name her Ab Fab after the BBC TV show "Absolutely Fabulous" - which offers quite the chuckle to my wife who has crafted a similar life style
The CO2 sensors were beeping every 10 seconds (or so) non stop and my radio would not work unless the engine was on. When I cut engine's, the radio would cut on/off. A fellow 268 owner at anchor suggested a bank of new batteries as his CO2 sensors did the same thing with old / poor charging cells. Think I should do this - it's a new boat - please advise.
Some weather striping coming loose under the center folding wind shield - thinking I can hot glue gun that down.
Did not fill test any water/waist lines - was just a day trip.
GLXi had good power. Up on plain quick and docking maneuvers went well with what was a tough (and very public) dock slip today. This boat has some good reverse grunt - even in blowing winds.
Very happy with it. First day out, three Four Winns Vista owners were found - all said hello and took the time to chat.
A good day, in deed.
