That Evinrude is toying with you! Hey, I posted your Evinrude engine trouble online just for the heck of it and got this reply (for what it is worth) from a specialist (I did not know what steps you have taken so far): You have received an Answer! From Tan Partin Sat, Feb 27, 2010 3:06 PM EST Hi : First you need to do a compression test, next spark check, then check fuel filter. If all is good remove carburetor and inspect more than likely you will find the carb is gummed up, high speed jet restricted. Rebuild carb reinstall. If no spark,or low compression post back. SO FUNNY. That Evinrude is toying with you!

I have spent many a high-tide frolicking in the non-waves of that marvi bay. My master's thesis field area is on the open-ocean side of the Point Loma Peninsula, on the sea cliffs running from Cabrillo National Monument to Sunset Cliffs (~7km). I could only conduct field work during low-tide, as the cliffs are very dangerous with high tide surf. When you sail out of the bay and look back at the peninsula, think about those rock cliffs under 1000m of water, 76 million year ago, slowly depositing by successive underwater sediment avalanches falling off the shelf edge into the deep ocean. The same process is currently happening, and will continue to happen, underneath your boat as you sail across the the Pacific. Great to see your website! Keep having fun! -Zandra PS the local Ballast Point Yellowtail brew goes very well with fish tacos. Welcome to Shelter Island!
