October 25 - 27, 2014 More boat craziness! OK, I promise we work really hard in maintaining DreamCatcher – but sometimes it is beyond understanding how so many things can break. In the last week the watermaker pump broke, the inverter/charger is not working (including smoking!!) and today the engine wouldn’t start when we tried to leave! Sigh again. Bruce spent much time trouble shooting – but no success. Andrew (s/v Carousel) was kind enough to come to his assistance and together they diagnosed and corrected two related problems – the relatively new starter solenoid studs were loose giving intermittent contact and there was also a faulty electrical connection to the ignition switch. Problem solved!
