Spirit Quest is back for engine repair work.  There is an oil leak in the rear seal and a small anti-freeze leak.  The vessel will receive a new head gasket and watermaker.  This year Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op acquired an all terrain forklift with an 8,000 pound capacity and 40 foot reach.  It was useful when removing the engine from Spirit Quest.  Adam Genness secured the engine and monitored it during transport.  Project Manager, Chris Brignoli, controlled the forklift while Ric Brenden communicated directions to him from the boat.
