3. Getting a life…? Well, I’ve sailed only 3000 miles since the refit, but I’m guessing that’s more than you. And I’m setting off for two weeks of the Gulf St Vincent and the Spencer Gulf tomorrow with the Admiral. Where are you going? Will you Google somewhere? Apparently Google-travel is the new thing.
Matt, how did the short gulf cruise go? all to plan I presume.

Plan? Cruising boat? Surely you jest?

Nearly home.

the KUS ultrasonic level gauge has now been in operation for a little while and very pleased with it. installation was very easy

gauge reads at zero mark when empty & powered on, but drops well below zero when powered off. presently we hv a bit over 1/4 tank, and gauge reads bit less 1/4 ie under reading

when i finalise the sale of a kidney i'l put a bit more fuel in it and see how it compares at higher levels, but so far it's a keeper.

no hesitation to recommend

cheers,
