Desire was supposed to be splashed around noon but it was not until 4p as Sailors Cove had a starter problem with the engine that drives the hoist AND then an electrical problem with the boom arm used to hoist the mast.  Rick Vincent, worked very diligently to make our launch happen.  Kudos to Rick.

Baker noticed a leak on starting our engine, turns out it was the top gasket of the raw water filter.  He made a gasket and the leak is stopped.  Also, the diesel engine stop cable would not work.  Reid and Baker removed it and I have found another that should arrive tomorrow or Wednesday.  We are also working on a better attachment of main sheet hardware to the boom.  

Should have a shakedown sail later in the week.  Weather looks pretty bad the for the next couple of day. Will keep you posted on shakedown and should I need help.
