A mixed week
This has been a productive week.
On Tuesday I had a SEA Check on the boat by the RNLI. I have to say that the boat is currently not up to scratch either for this trip or for normal operation. A load of things came out of the check most of which I will implement and most of which won’t cost much in either time or maoney but the boat will be much safer for it.
The rest of the week has been spent either talking to potential sponsors or installing the fuel flow sensor on the boat.
The fuel flow sensor is now installed and sea trials are starting next week. Once that is calibrated I will start fuel runs testing out the two pitches of propeller to see which is going to be the one to use on the trip. One is 19" and the other is 21". I will publish the results on this site when complete.
I would like to welcome Garmin as a sponsor. They are providing me with Bluechart Electronic Charts for the second Chartplotter. Thank you so much to them for their generosity.
Next week I plan to complete the passage planning and risk assessment.
More later in the week.
