There is the study of Nature - birds, rocks, marine life. All intriguing and appropriate subjects for a sailing trek up BC's inland waterway. But for some, their attention must be turned toward other subjects. Take engine mechanics, for example. Perhaps not a first choice, but it can be equally appropriate for such a journey. Field guide books with diagrams like anatomical charts. Hey this is not so different. And so it goes. Green wires, red ones, blue and brown. Wiggling this one, jiggling that one...the mystery of the missing engine electricity continues. At this point, I am accepting that we will be underway tomorrow with whatever juice we've stored and plan on another marina stop a few days south. So I may soon pull my head out of my engine, and start taking in Nature again.
