First shake down sail with the owner crew.

Since it was a light wind/fairly flat sea state, we had a good opportunity to take Elysium out for a systems practice/check.

We already knew we had a coolant leak issue from the delivery captain, so once again, I got to do my favorite job of helming the boat while Tim messes around the engine room. We found the leak, but it'll take somebody with specific wrenches to tend to.  Yes, we have 6 toolboxes on board, but not these specific tools.

It might be because we are so used to and comfortable with Garmin products, but we are not fans of the Raymarine setup.  Currently working on going through every menu, the chart table is a touch screen, but the helm station isn't and it's very annoying.

Other than a few small ticky tack things, everything went pretty smoothly.  A lot heavier boat than HemiD and Patriot, definitely maneuvers like a tank.

My little push button sailor is in seventh heaven.  Bow/stern thrusters,  auto, electric winches, adjustable keel.
