[C320-list] GFO and Autoprop first report

Thu May 11 07:45:47 PDT 2006

The bottom is cleaned by a diver every month. I am getting hauled out next 
week to put on new paint, an Autostream feathering prop, and a PYI dripless 
seal. We'll see how it looks after that.

Incidentally, my knotmeter and GPS SOG correlate very well when there is no 
current, so I don't think that would be the problem.

Thanks,
