So, this was a first. Ran out of fuel within eye shot of the fuel dock. We were heading off to our yacht club outstation in Bainbridge this weekend, but first needed to stop at fuel dock to pump out and fuel up. Soon after leaving our marina, we lost the port engine, followed shortly by our starboard. We knew we were low (hence the plan to fuel up), but didn’t know we were running on fumes. Turns out, our belly tank is not as large as we thought. Deployed anchor in Lake Union, drifted till it caught & called for a tow. Got towed to the fuel dock - fueled up, pumped out and spent over two hours priming our Ford Lehman’s to no avail, and had to call for another tow. Currently tied up at yacht club city dock, engines finally primed and running - a #boatlife adventure for sure!
