Two nights in Reid Harbor and hikes all around. What a time to be up on the mountains and out to the Lighthouse. Group of sea lions at the lighthouse too.

Upsetting thing is that the motor died right at the entrance to Friday Harbor. Despite all my considerable efforts to keep the fuel tank clean with bug killer and lubricant, using R99 fuel, I keep getting fuel cut off engine death. I polished the fuel last year and it was quite clean, so what gives? I even then had the starter stop working. Had to get towed by Boat US the few hundred yards back to our slip. Upsetting and embarrassing for this careful boat mechanic.

I am glad you had an amazing trip, and only had to deal the the engine issue at the end. The fuel problem must be very frustrating. Our vacuum pressure gauge is telling me to change out the racors. I have not done that before and cautiously look forward to the lessons I learn.
You will find it no problem. I wish my diesel was only dying when my gauge showed higher vacuum, but that isn't the case right now. Something else is going on, and I've just learned there is an internal filter on the Walbro FRB 13-2 filter I will check next time I'm on Aeolus. Also going to pull off the exhaust elbow and make sure it is clean.
