From the depths of despair to the highest of the highs- TIDE TOGETHER III is in!
Start the boat in the driveway with the rabbit ears- after a bunch of priming she starts and runs. McCarthy lends a hand and a tow.
Swing by Rocky Neck but tide is too low so we head across town to Dun Fugin ramp at the high school.
Dunk her at the high school ramp and have the engine going (not under load) still running.
Pull about 20 yards away from the ramp and she stalls.
Wind ripping- tide screaming- right toward the marsh.
Try to start and can get her going occasionally with the choke but not consistently and as soon as shut down the choke to put into gear she dies.
Take out the little paddles and paddle to about midway across the river back to the boat ramp but the wind and tide are too much.
We grab onto the 50 buoy and thankfully a while later a couple of guys swing by and tow us back to the boat ramp.
Defeated, tired, depressed.
And While I figured it would be an hour task tops turns into hours without a clue what my next move was
Texted a couple of more knowledgeable boat guys and explained that I could hear a little air escaping when I squeezed the priming ball.
Took the connection off and noticed the o-ring or gasket on the connection was definitely not perfect with probably a two millimeter crevice where air/fuel definitely could escape creating the fuel delivery issue.
Check out the o ring on the original fuel line connector compared to the o ring on the new one:
So the connector replacement was as easy as loosening the clamp that secured the old connector to the fuel line and replacing the old connector with the new one.
Clipped it on, primed the motor and she runs better and starts up immediately like it’s a brand new engine. (It only has 100 hours on it. No looks brand new under the cowling)
So we went from the lowest of lows and in despair to the highest of highs.
Thank goodness. Boating season 2022 is officially on! Thanks Chris, TJ, Joey, Bubba and Scottie for the advice/helping hands.
TIDE TOGETHER III IS IN!
Mark the tape! May 7, 2022!

 John Abisamra “My real passion is to capture the beauty of Cape Ann and its magical light through my camera. I try to capture the uniqueness each season brings.I particularly enjoy photographing during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset and also am drawn to images where nature and man made elements meet. Photography for me is all about capturing a moment in time which may never be repeated.” Visit his website here. Jacqueline Ganim-DeFalco  Jacqueline has continued to expand her Cape Ann Designs portfolio, adding more statement pendants to the Line in the Sand collection. She’s also created a line of brooches called “minis” that are smaller and lighter to wear in the summer. She has also introduced an e-Commerce capability on her website. Melody Phaneuf  “As a visual artist, I appreciate looking at things, particularly old, tarnished, abandoned things. I collect objects that I can’t resist for paintings. This is a peculiar activity for a person who hates clutter. Nonetheless, my fascination with chronicling visual experience and enthusiasm for storytelling compels me.” Read more here. To see more of Melody’s work visit melodytheartist.com  Sinikka Nogelo Sinikka recently made this piece for the Rockport Art Association & Museum’s Experimental Artists Group show, “Unexpected 18 – Jacki’s Flowers.” It’s an acrylic, painted and sculpted, titled “Hidden Treasures.” (18”h x 7”d).

Open Your Home to Summer + Kung Fu Nuns
Bring the Outside In
Summer is coming, and it’s a cause for celebration as we all start spending more time outside. The days are getting longer, and more and more windows are staying open throughout the day. For many of us, we don’t have the opportunity to spend as much time outside in the sunshine as we’d like. Perhaps, we should focus more on bringing the outside into our homes
