Not a huge amount to report, but we've been active doing various small jobs when time permits.
Shortly, Patricia will receive a boat safety inspection and for that we need to have certain key items in place. Smoke and CO detectors have been in stock for a while, so now was the time to get them mounted in the facilities cabin and the engine room.
The engine cranking and starting has been a tad sluggish in the recent past. A visit to and inspection of the battery compartment produced connection contact surfaces that were nowhere near as bright as they should have been, so all were cleaned and then protected with grease. A test start in the afternoon sounded far more convincing than the morning event.
On Wednesday, we will be receiving the new ballast, all shiny 2.5 Tonnes of it, so a serious heavy metal session beckons.
