28 days and 5 haul outs later we are finally back in the water.
Mark and Deny sorted out the problem after the "experts" from Portland walked off the job. It turns out our shaft was 17 thousandths off at the coupler. We had a different prop shop fix the shaft and Mark got it within 2 thousandths on the boat. We ran her up to 34 knots and no vibrations!!! Clark and I are headed west in the AM. Captain Mike

Best news I've heard in a long time. With all the twists and turns in getting things right, got to hand it to you guys for getting the Shake N Bake back in the water and running like silk. Hope you get some blood on the deck tomorrow. See you on Tuesday, to help chase some tuna!
