On the way, after the Syndey Lanier bridge, in front of the commercial dock, the engine died of fuel starvation. There should have been 7 hours left. The gauge was low and I was suspicious.
I dropped the anchor at 40 feet added fuel to the tank and commented on bleeding the engine. It was not going well so I opened the secondary filter to refill it. I found the O-ring had broken but I had several spares. Eventually, I got the engine started and got to Brunswick Landing Marina and purchased 18 Gallons. My theoretical tank is 70 liters which should be 18 gallons. I filled the water tank and departed without any assistance.
It was almost 1 PM and I was tired and stressed. I headed north towards Doboy and I ended up at a nice anchorage called Wally's Leg. Very pleasant and had a good shot or two of whiskey and BBQ some boneless pork ribs again.
A nice evening at a very isolated anchorage all alone.
