Continuing to Make Rookie Mistakes

Comfortably Numb

New member
Well, I finally got the Comfortably Numb in last night...this is the latest I have gotten in over the past four springs. After getting underway and finding myself in the middle of the lake, the engine revved up slightly and then stopped. I had the three year maintenance done, and had taken on a fresh load of fuel...it turns out you really do need to switch on the fuel tanks!

Rookie mistake, as daughter Casey pointed out.

Boating season has begun!
 
Mark,
If not turning the fuel supply valve to the "open" position is your only "mistake", you should not punish yourself! Now if the fuel tanks were "empty", this would be another situation altogether! Incidentally, we look forward to having you with us at the "Guttenberg Gathering" this September. There are 15 C-Dory's registered already and it would be nice to make you #16. Get in touch with the hosts, Ron & Connie Fisher, and sign on to this very interesting and enjoyable experience.
