Prepassage maintenance
14 April 2014 | La Playita
The day was spent working on the genoa. I spliced on new sheets (the lines that control the sail). Isobel tests them out, they are nice and grippy! Lubricated the furler (this is above my left photo), this is how we roll the sail up so we don't have to take it down. I also worked on the furling line, replacing some of the blocks and checking to make sure the line runs fair (doesn't rub against things) back to the cockpit. All these things will help us furl up sail more easily.
Today, I will remove a leaking seal in the sea water pump to find a replacement in Panama City. I have a spare pump, but I would rather keep that as a spare. Yes, I will buy a couple spare seals! Next and oil and filter change, transmission oil change and a flush of the sea-water heat exchanger. There is a list of other items to check and change on the engine... I won't bore you with the list.
