Default Boating with the Skater, SW Florida

Memorial Day weekend boating, in the Skater here in SW Florida.

It was a warm 91 degrees, bright and sunny, with a small wind. The Gulf water temp is at 85 deg.

We went a total of 52.9 miles, burned 22.9 gal of 93 octane for an average of 2.3mpg.

I think so. On the Sarasota run the PORT engine burped and went into, shutdown mode.
On the next run, Useppa usland, the PORT engine burped and quit.

I did not find anything definitively wrong, then, I found the insulation mat, under the
cowl, directly above the engine, was very loose, and was missing pieces, directly above
the air horn. I can only assume it had been breaking off, and was going through the
engine. All seems good now.

SW Florida has it's share of chaos. I avoid those spots.
