Indeed. The Yanmar in our old Freedom started acting just like Gene's.

() Just after clearing (i.e. bouncing around in) the Hog Neck channel. The sails were up so we killed the engine, spun around and headed in. We usually do sail through the chicane into the Onset channel (with diesel idling) so that was not so bad. Glad that we have a mooring and didn't have to go into a slip. The wind was a cooperative SW.
That winter pulled out the fuel tank and cleaned it. It had pulled the same stunt while sailing to Marion for haulout and we had to beat into the fall NW up Sippican harbor to a mooring at Bardens.

- Nice job Gene. Could be crap in the fuel
- Alls well, that ends GREAT :^))
- Nice going, Gene. I bet clogged filter(s).
- If the weather was a bit on the rough side
- Change your primary fuel filter and I bet you will be good to go
- That's how we learned to sail in. I'd agree with the Maine folk.
