After a 48 miles tow from nearby Boston to Newburyport, we are now tied-up safely in a slip in Newburyport. Tomorrow morning, I shall talk to the mechanic about checking out the engine, to determine the reason for the tremendous oil loss. A post on the Nauticat bulletin board brought several responses. One very detailed response is pointing towards the oil cooler. The response indicates that we were basically pumping out all the oil together with the engine cooling water. The oil never quite made it inside the engine. I hope this is the correct diagnosis because it would be a relatively inexpensive repair. The weather here is miserable. It is Sunday afternoon, overcast and cool.
