CC Yacht Delivery: Miss Gnomie

Another trip is in the works. Today I am aboard Miss Gnomie, a 1997 Trojan 44 Express that is coming out of Pasadena, MD just outside of Baltimore on its way to its new home in New Bern, NC. She is powered with Caterpillar 3126's that have her cruising at about 23mph. Boat was on the hard for the past two years, but you would not have known it by the way she performed today. She never missed a beat. She ran great on some very smooth water on the Chesapeake Bay today. Seas were projected at 1 foot or less. As I told my first mate today, this was the "or less" part of the forecast.

It is nice to catch a break every now and again.

We ran 190 miles today down to Atlantic Yacht Basin in Great Bridge, VA. We had a few issues once we tied up to the dock. The fresh water pump and the A/C pump were both air locked. After a few choice words and a bit of sweat, we got things fixed and now have the water flowing and cabin cool once again.

Just a really pretty day on the water and a beautiful ride through Norfolk with all the Navy ships looking good.
