We have developed a leak in our starboard fuel tank. We have controlled the leaking fuel by draining the starboard tank to the port tank and cleaning the bilge (a two day project). Probably both the tanks will have to be replaced which is a monumental engineering task. The plan is to leave Marathon about the middle of March, when Dixie finishes her knee treatments, and take the boat home to our home boat yard. We will have to travel on one fuel tank and one water tank (one water tank because we had to empty the port tank to help balance the boat) but that should not be a problem other than frequent fuel stops. Always something but this is a particually big something.
