[C38] a vote for sailing chat and a note about Yanmar impeller differences

[Don Strong]

Dear Max: Although too far north to meet up with you, I greatly enjoyed 
the discussions about your visit and C38 stuff.

A note for that small fraction of us who have Yanmar 3GM30F engines. The 
company sold two versions of cooling pumps,
the Swedish Johnson pump and a Japanese model. My kit had two spare 
impellers, both for the wrong pump. I was lucky to have discovered the 
mismatch during a "fix the pump" drill at the dock. The Johnson pump 
impeller has a screw through the center, the Japanese impeller has no 
center screw. Barb at Golden State Diesel (GSD) in Oakland, CA 
straightened me out about the differences and traded impellers straight 
across. Good place, GSD.
regards, Don

I do not think anyone on the list objected to the arrangement of meetings or any of the discussion of what you wanted to see and do, in fact, I am sure we were all pleased with the responses extended you, a very valuable member of the group.
