It was a great trip, we had a few little hiccups. Dinghy motor ran like crap, one water tank was leaking, etc, etc... all in all it was a great trip. Weather was amazing, we got a lot of sailing in. Visited green turtle cay and guana cay.
Adding photos from the dives now!
Well I dunno how "ready" we are getting, but I finally got the new Rocna 25 anchor mounted, can't wait to give it a whirl. We haven't sat down and figured out what all we need to accomplish before we leave, but we will this weekend.
About every 2 years the Electra Scan treatment system needs to be replaced. Personally I would much rather replace it every two years then deal with a holding tank and pumping out, but it's still a nightmare.
Holy crap that took a long time! I have been working on the other boat quite a bit as of late.
Next up is replacing the electra scan. Seems like they go bad about every 2 years, but it sure as hell beats pumping out and holding tanks!
Finished up the port side today, 5 down 3 to go. It was too dark to take photos though.
Lots of new photos!! Click the gallery link!
I did an upgrade and deleted a few users, so you may have to re-register, sorry for the inconvenience.
Managed to find a rebuilt injection pump and bought a spare starter.
We're back from the bahamas, went out for lobster mini season (we were the only sailboat on the water which was cool).
Anyhow, we got ready to go the next day and the engine wouldn't start. Very strange since it always starts in half a turn. After a few hours messing with it, I have come to the conclusion that the high pressure injection pump is TOAST. Not cool since it's $500 to get rebuilt. Oh well I plan on having a spare when it's all said and done.
Well it's been an interesting trip, actually it's been a series of crap, but oh well. I've never had so many things go wrong all at once.
Our first issue was the wind generator, bearing went out on it on the second day of the trip at allens pensacola. Then we went to put the dinghy in the water and the dinghy motor ran like shit, later on in the trip the motor completely died, lower end is out and i think one cylinder has no compression.
