It was a better week for me, but not
for some fishermen who ran into the entrance jetty and lost their
boat. At least no one lost their life.
The mounting bracket
assemblies for a new solar panel that will be mounted on the dinghy
davits are almost done and I ran two-conductor marine wire from the davits, through the deck and into the engine room where the solar controller will be located. The spare motor/pump assembly for the WH
Autopillot is back together and ready for stowing. (I found a
replacement pully for it at Oxnard Equipment Surplus for less than
half what it would have cost to get online.) I didn't get around to
testing the SSB/computer weatherfax reception, although I did
familiarize myself a bit with the software. The bad news: I will need
to remove the grease-leaking windlass and bring it to the manufacturer in Riverside
next Friday so they can examine it. If it's just a bad o-ring, they
can probably fix it the same day. Wish me luck!
