We had a coastal meteorology course all weekend, which meant I couldn't get this dealt with. Turns out someone who worked on the boat went into the bilge and turned the tap connecting the two water tanks. I've never touched it (I leave it open), but SOMEONE closed the #$% and so of course the portside tank was being emptied with use and so the inevitable heel to starboard.
I don't need this CR*P. The engine was also overheating (mechanic didn't check the operating temps after he installed the engine) due to my putting in what turned out to be an incorrect or faulty thermostat. >
I'm sure glad I found this out before I left the dock.
After class we spent three hours cleaning everything the yard didn't clean (which is everything), I put the old thermostat back in, loaded all our stuff back into the boat, and I filled the water tank. The boat is now sitting like an honest boat should and I can't wait to sail home tomorrow. Outlook in Haro Straight is sunny with variable southerly winds.
Sun! Wind! Sailing!
And we're home!!!! Hooray
