We reloaded our port lazarette locker and took some
pictures.
We had ordered the Hydrovane with the
optional LED stern navigation light fitted into the case of the
Hydrovane. This means it will be sited at the aft most part of the boat
and will replace the existing one on the boat. The vane has
been offset from the centreline to allow the swimming ladder to fold down
and give full access to the shower head (the horizontal handle that looks a
little like a telephone):-
   Ted Devey, Hydrovane installation
consultant extraordinaire:-
 We left Alcaidesa Marina and motored back to
Queensway Quay in Gibraltar. I went off to UPS and collected the paperwork
for the final goods delivery from MES in the UK - an AIS (Automatic
Identification System) transponder and antenna together with a support pole made
by Scanstrut for the Satellite Phone dome. Again the process went
well. We feel very fortunate to have received over the last week three
lots of expensive and bulky equipment, from 3 different suppliers in the UK, via
three different couriers and all without a hitch. Very good service from
all companies involved.
