Well we have been in Kema for almost a week. All is well and we are getting our planned work done. Marina is good, floating docks, we are behind a bluff and Condos so the wind does not bother us. People are not as friendly but we have been staying to ourselves and trying to get some work done also.
We tried to chase and find the electrical gremlin the first couple of days. What we found was all the batteries were ok, load tested ok, wireing was ok, and charging both by engines and inverter was ok all the way to the electrical panel for distribution. Only found one wire that was not as tight as it should have been ane fixed that.
We then took the day off from boat work and went shopping and took the water pump to the maching shop. Would rather have worked. We combined all our shopping in one day and when we got back to the boat we were beat but it was done.
Now we are doing the branch circuit to the flybridge to get good clean and enough power for the electronics. That will be finished today and hopefully we will be done with the "electrical tests, fixes, tests and clean up by end of Fri. Wish we had found something that was BAD but we now know the system is ok and will monitor closely (I have set up monitors in all major areas - duh)
Probably spend the weekend relaxing, going to see the nieces, and cleaning the boat if weather premits.
Next week is water pump, wind instrument, bimini, and then starting on lots of other small stuff that has cropped up during the trip up and the anchor outs.
So that has been our exciting week -yeah right, but could not be in a better place right now to get it done and we and the boat will be better prepared when we again head out.
O'yes, the ADMIRAL has also declaired that there is cold weather and wind on the way and we are not going anywhere till she has approved the weather report.
Hope all is well with everyone out there. It is here.
