Hi gang,

        I'm back from three weeks on the road in Bluebelle ('84 Westy).
Over 6,000 km's. We went to Newfoundland from Toronto and had a great time
touring "the Rock". Saw whales, puffins, moose and icebergs. We were able
to fish a chunk of iceberg ice out of the ocean so I had a Scotch on the
rocks with a couple of chunks of it. Figured it was a once in a lifetime
opportunity. Newfoundland has great scenery, people and music. It also has
miles and miles of very hilly roads...........I'm not sure there's more
than a 100 feet of level road anywhere.

        Bluebelle performed beautifully with one exception. We got a
tankful of gas that was mostly water --- had to get towed and the tank
drained, but I can't blame Bluebelle for that. One other small problem.
One day away from home she started running a little hotter than usual. I
think I'm missing the lower of the two fans speeds as the fan doesn't come
on until the needle is a bit past the LED. Anyone know what might cause
this???

Thanks,
Doug
