I worked myself to exhaustion trying to make sure everything was ready for the scheduled installation of the new batteries and for the scheduled welding of the steel for the watermaker’s high pressure pump mounting bracket.   I almost made it.  It was ironically fortunate that both the welding and the batteries were delayed.  I’m still exhausted, though.  On the bright side, quite a bit was accomplished.  The steel is ready for welding, the house battery side of the wiring has been upgraded and the new high capacity bilge pump has been mounted and plumbed.  I still need to complete the wiring for the bilge pump and make and install new cables for the new batteries to complete phase one of the revamped primary electrical system.  (Phase two will be the starter battery/port side.)  With luck, the welding will happen next week in time for the arrival of the watermaker parts.  I’m hoping I’ll get all these major projects done about the end of the “iron” outrigger racing season at the end of June so I can take off for a while.  Wish me luck!
