During this Covid summer, Neah Bay fuel dock was closed to all but the
local community. That means transiting from Columbia River to Port
Angeles and the nearest open fuel dock. Port Angeles is another 40
miles east along the Strait of Jaun de Fuca. The day was sunny with
very light winds. The current was in our favor.

Before heading out of Neah Bay I had to check my engine compartment.
This passage was the first time I had run the engine continuously for
28 hours. Engine oil, transmission oil, belts and any other issues
that might be of concern needed to be checked.

Lifting the stairs/access panel to the engine I immediately become
concerned. The engine diapers I placed under the engine to catch any
leaks were soaked with transmission fluid.

Two hours of troubleshooting ensued.

Bottom line, after refilling the transmission with fluid, no static
leak was found. Proceeding with keeping an eye on the fluid level
seemed appropriate.

By 10:30AM we were on our way to Port Angeles for fuel and a night stop over.

The north shore of the United States along the Strait of Juan De Fuca
is a thick forested coast line with many interesting rock formations.

We arrived at the PA (Port Angeles) at 5:30. 30 minutes after they
closed. No one around and no room on the linear dock. We tied up at
the check in dock and called it a day.
