A productive day.
- Serkan set up the rig properly (although I feel
the rigging is still too slack).
- I explained the Y-Valve to the Demir engineers
who changed the pipework around and now all is fine. This is a difficult
job as access is poor and the pipework is a very inflexible 'low odour'
type.
- We got the sprayhood and bimini back
on.
- The electrician came to reconnect the wiring
inside the boat at the base of the mast
- He also did a drop test on the starter and
domestic batteries. The starter battery is shot, the domestics have some
life in them but perhaps only a year or so. The starter battery has been a
problem since new in Porto Kheli in Greece in 2008. The domestics were
last changed in 2005 and so the electrician's conclusion about those stacks
up. We got a good quote for replacement Bosch batteries so decided to
change the lot. This can be done tomorrow!
