It was also a rattle record for Morgan to hear, again to check for differences. It is getting worse.

Hi Stephen,

Enjoyed the video.
Had a look on google earth, is that Lake Sammamish you are driving along the edge of? Great roads and scenery.
Hell of a rattle you’ve got there, am I right in thinking it’s slightly worse on a trailing throttle.

Hi Obie,
That was Sinclair Inlet to Manchester and on to Southworth through Colby. Can’t remember where the camera battery died. The battery life of that camera is about 30 minutes maximum.

Yes, the rattle definitely cha gets and seems to show a more loose rattle. Under acceleration it is a whine. The clue to where it might be coming from is when the clutch is engaged there is a noise and on take off it seems to want to chatter, or at least that is the sound.

Morgan USA in San Francisco is thinking about what they are going to do given the great distances to and from their dealership. The dealership in Seattle closing sure put a monkey wrench into thing.

Me too, Google Earth is amazing. It is highly manipulated by Google and the government as to what you have the ability to see. Over the years I watched as the views and the labeling of an island north of Siberia modified by Google. What was labeled as bomb strikes was deleted and the row of large dark canisters on the beach was obscured with clouds. All interesting stuff.

Looks like a good place to own a boat as well as a Morgan.

Should we start a 3 Wheelers + boats thread?

Here is our 1968 27' Pearson Renegade from last summer in the San Juan Islands; Mt Baker in the background. 14+ years of fun on this classic plastic beauty and counting!

And to prove how foolish I am, it's highly likely that we will be closing on this next week....

You should start a “Have you sailed you boat today” thread.
Looks like there would be some interesting pictures!

Nice! The first time I caught albacore I was when sailing a friends Cal-27 from Santa Monica California to Newport Beach and off Paulo’s Verde the fishing pole I lashed to and laying on the deck started singing. What a surprise, I reeled in one, we came about and cruised back through the same area and caught another one! Sailing is very therapeutic and a beautiful way to relax. I fell asleep in the sail pocket on the mainsail of a K-38 when On a long reach. The helmsman thought it would be hilarious to come about unnecessarily. I came to in midair, another eye opening experience.
Have fun sailing the San Juans👍
