[Rhodes22-list] We launched today! Lake Michigan motor stuff.

[Tom Van Heule]

Thanks Lee!
Yes, added sta-bil and some of that fancy marinetech gas. Purring smoother
than ever.

Now to reroute the electrics I hooked up over instead of under...

Tomorrow we are shooting for our maiden sail.  Should be 8-15kts with 30%
chance of rain in afternoon(I hate big zip codes lol)...

Fair winds everyone, stay safe.
