Just got an update. Another disabled sailor canceled their July 29th morning sail. I just jumped on the open booking.
Back out on the ocean, Monday morning 😀⛵️#PeopleWithDisabilities #ParaAthletes #ParaSports #DifferentlyAbled #AdaptiveSports #DisabledSailors #AbleSailVictoria #AbleSail #DisabledSailingCanada #BCDisabledSailing #OakBay #RoyalVictoriaYachtClub #VancouverIsland #StayActive #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #SalishSea #PNW #sailing #Martin16 #Sailboat #AdaptiveSailing

Excellent 2nd #AdaptiveSailing session today! My instructor today, Kate, is very knowledgeable & keen to help me learn more so I can enter future Mobility Cup regattas. I manned sailboat for almost full session today & she gave me guidance only when needed. There was more breezes so we didn't need to be towed out or back. My next session is on August 4th 😊⛵️
Lunching with Mom on back deck before we get some gardening tasks done 👩🌾 Heading to the Indigenous Music Festival around 5:30pm 🎶🎵 Hampton Park is only 5 minutes from our home & starts at 6pm.

We only got a bit of wind for my first sailing session but Friday forecast calls for cooler temps & more wind on waters. I'll be able to move the sailboat faster! I can try out more tacking & keeling moves. Was able to pick up enough wind, out on open ocean, to keel the sailboat a few times & got waves rushing on/over the gunnels. That was fun & exciting!

From Sunday. We got towed out by Zodiac boat because there was zero wind in the harbour.

I think I finally tracked down a new glow plug for my boat. It was a bit of a journey.
Suddenly is a Ericson 41 (hull No.2), which means that unlike other Ericson 41s she didn't come with an atomic 4, she has a Starrlett 121-D marine diesel engine. Suddenly was built in 1967 and Starrlett went out of business in the 80s... luckily Starrlett didn't actually make the engine itself, but instead made all of the marine bits. The block itself is a Isuzu DL201. There isn't much info on the DL201 except that it was mainly used in the Isuzu Bellel and in Thermo King refrigeration units.
I was looking though the Starrlett manual (its the original 1960s manual and is hand drawn) and decided to check the part number. Turns out the part number (8251-1978) for the glow plug is the Isuzu part number (9-8251-1978-0), but without the engine code. That lead me to a website that listed alternatives. Checking out the NGK Y-104 (NGK-6425), Summit Racing confirmed that it should fit the Isuzu Bellel!
I've got one on order and can compare it to the faulty one I pulled out. Unfortunately the picture doesn't match what I have, but I am pretty sure it's just a generic image. Fingers crossed that it fits.
