Oil Change

Today was the first day of my retirement without any medical duties. It was great.

I changed the oil on the White Pepper. I got all 5 quarts of oil to come out through the dip stick hole and 5 new quarts of Mobil 1 back in. I changed the filter, greased the steering cables, added anti-freeze as coolant, and cleaned up the lazarette. There must have been 110 pounds of old line down there. It went to the storage unit. I may need the line as "webbing" in case of a hurricane. Bob came down to change out the baby stay which has sprung several wires.

This is just the start of a very long process of clean up and preparedness for out cruise.
