Unplanned boat jobs
20 February 2015 | Simson Bay Lagoon, St Maartin
Cam "H"
There seems like there is a never ending list of boat jobs that just seem to keep coming and when we think that it’s time to relax there will be another one to add to the list.
First one was the removal of our old 180 amp hour batteries and we replaced them with 3 x 220 amp hour ones. The old ones refused to hold their charge for any longer than about one hour, the solar panels would boost them up just over 14 volts and the battery management system would say that they had reached full capacity but they would drop so quickly that most of the systems on board would shut down completely leaving us to hand steer every night crossing the Atlantic and having to run our motor and or the generator most of the time.
The second job was to have a rigger re-install our inner forestay halyard and while he was up the mast he noticed that one of the D2 stays was about to break which would have been catastrophic for our mast, sails and all of the equipment that goes with it, it most likely would have been a complete loss of the rig. We now have two brand new D2 stays and a completely tuned rig.
The third job was on our outboard motor and that was a complete success thanks to a nice English guy by the name of Gary, he cleaned and tuned the carburettor, it runs like a Swiss watch. Even Sarah can start it now, so if you see a hoon in a dinghy flying through the anchorage it won’t be me haha.
The fourth job was to order and pay for the parts to get our old outboard motor going again, they should be here in St Maartin next week, so we do have an excuse to call back again.
Apart from spending loads of money, life is always good on Annecam.
