All, after cruising around from Maine to Florida to the Bahamas for about 5 years we will be returning to spend the summer in the Chesapeake. We'll be based at Herrington North as before. We will be in a different boat this time and using a Rocna instead of a Fortress but the Rocna has held in muddy FL rivers very well. My last boat had an Onan genset and I got pretty good at changing the water pump impeller at anchorage in the middle of the night after the jelly fish clogged the strainer. But now I have a Kohler and it is a bear to change the impeller. And the genset intake strainer is difficult to reach! Any one have ideas on how I can just ward off those pesky jelly fish? I hope there hasn't been any real negative changes to our old haunts: Solomons, Oxford, St Michaels... Thanks, Joe M/V Gabbiano 560 Carver Voyager
