- Replaced fuel filter element in the Racor 110A. No visible contamination.
- Ran the engine. A bit rough at higher RPMs with the needle wavering over more than 500 RPM.
- Rather than return to dock, anchored out among the boats that arrived in Annapolis before the coming weekend's boat show using the 13lbs Danforth and 89 feet 3/8" 3-strand nylon rode. Hand bearing compass showed the point at the Naval Academy to be due north (magnetic), and spire at St Mary's Church to be due west (magnetic).
- Replaced the on-engine fuel filter element.
- Much better result, much less wavering, only about 200 RPM between 2,600 and 2,800 RPM.
