Jeff,
Not sure there too much to be concerned about at the 20 hour check. That's why the plug is magnetic.....to catch those shavings. That's one of the reasons why the first service is at 20 hours......to change out the initial fluids that pick up initial wear debris. If it still occurs at your next service, then I'd be concerned.

Hi everyone-
Trying out the Verizon Wireless card as we're driving along. We are almost to Las Vegas. See you all tomorrow at MDR. We're still hoping Mike is well enough to come.
Swanny--damn the pool-- you can get that fixed anytime. Who knows how long the "Chillable Red" will last?!

Dixie (I think that's you writing..), you're so right of course. But getting pool-leak detection people in the summer is about as bad as getting A/C repairman -- booked solid, weeks in advance! One way or another I will be there, maybe even Monday early evening. He and his crew are due here between 11am and 1pm Monday, have to explain the pipe routing and tests to date, then he's on his own, wife can answer questions and sign checks after that. So there's still hope -- please reserve a bit of that chillable if you will... :smilep
Have a safe final leg of your trip, see you guys soon.

We arrived at MDR earlier that we planned. Got launched and into a slip (H106) at Chace Park by noon. Mike (Sealife) came in about 1:30 and is in the slip next to us. Don't know who else is coming here, but expect Pounder and Dinner Belle II later today.
Swanny, We will see you at Two Harbors. We will try to save some wine.

Wow Brent & Dixie... accessig Internet from your C0-Dory? Fantastic!
Kimiko & I will visit the guest dock around 4:00. Do you guys want to carry some frozen Thresher Shark filets for Monday's Barbecue?

Posting from the patio at Two Harbors.
We arrived yesterday at around noon. Had a nice cruise down from Channel Islands Harbor- SEA3PO and Fishtales. It is a 57nm trip- around mile 40 we ran into a fog bank with ~150' vis. The radar works great.
Sam and Kerry (Salty C's) met us as we arrived.
We are expecting 5 boats to arrive from MDR in a couple of hours.
We are officially on "island time"

Having a blast at Catalina!
Dora Jean, Dinner Belle II, Discovery, Islander, Pounder, L'il Rascal, Salty C's, SEA3PO and Fishtales on the line.
Eight of us on Dora Jean and Discovery went over to San Clemente Island for fishing- caught a load of ocean whitefish, blue perch and sheephead.
Just relaxing on "Island Time" with a glass of buffalo milk.
I'll let Dixie tell about her four boat escort away from USN San Clemente Island

We had the fish fry last night- we had more then enough fish.
Tim and a couple friends from Catalina Yacht Anchorage Sales arrived yesterday. Tim joined us for dinner- yes he contributed fish that he speared after he got here.
Most of the fish were on the BBQ and Brent & Dixie fried some with a mixture of Aunt Jemima and Cajun seasoning-- good. (Joel said it must have been good since no one got sick)
Everyone received a C-Dory vest from CYA (no Dixie, CYA is not "cover your a$$).
PJ said since we are all delinquents, CYA was for "California Youth Authority.
Right now we are sitting on the patio sipping coffee while we wait for the showers to be cleaned- boy is this table odorefous (except for Joel- he made it in before they were closed)

Brent and Dixie (especially Dixie) take the honours for THE EVENT of this get-together. I will elaborate over what Roger said about the fishing 'excursions' at San Clemente island, Dixie will have to fill in more details when they get a chance. None of us had ever been to this Navy controlled island, all prior years had announced operations around the island making it off limits.
From prior research we could fish the NW corner on down Eastward on the North side of the island (sounds confusing, but quite simple once you see the 25 mile long or so island). So we (Dora Jean) arrived at the NW corner, we noticed Discovery went a little beyond this corner -- more on the West end of the island. That's about the time Brent said over the VHF, "Did you hear that on Chan 16?". No, I said, didn't break squelch for me. He said we're (Discovery) in an restricted area, must leave now. So, they came over by us and we proceeded to fish and dance with the kelp a bit TOO close -- tangles to deal with.
After catching a few small fish and several juvenile sheepheads that had to be put back, we decided to move further down the island. Found another nice spot, we anchored due to the current and wind pushing us around too much. Discovery anchored further down. Started catching GREAT fish, much larger, getting hits seconds after getting the lines down. Then the red lights and sirens up on the hill and over the radio saying we were in a restricted area, need to move 1 1/2 miles offshore. We acknowledged and finished pulling in the rods (with fish on -- we had enough by then for the fish fry!).
We weighed anchor and proceeded out of the area. Discovery tried to weigh their anchor but found it had 'captured' an old cable thru an eye ring, right in the center, the whole anchor thru it! The US Navy came over in their very red rafts (4 of them), meant business, stood off and watched Discovery as they 'messed' with their property, not to get too close in case it was undetinated explosives or something. Discovery finally got it unhooked with much strain and effort, then proceeded away from the area. The 4 rafts with 2-4 persons each on board then 'escorted' Discovery out past the zone, 1 1/2 miles. We had killed our engines and proceeded to clean fish as we watched them CLOSELY escorting Discovery. We were so mesmerized with the whole thing all of us forgot to snap a picture ... darn.
When we asked Dixie what happened, she said "She's be kicked out of many areas in her life, but never 'escorted' out, and...by the United States Navy!". It was a sight to behold, they (the Navy) had no idea who they were messing with!!! Jim (Wild Blue), we so wished you were around for this... :wink:
