New home for STARGATE

Stargate has now moved about a mile from Yacht Haven Plymouth, where she has been in the water since May 2007, to Yacht Haven Quay where she will be dry berthed until departure day.

The big advantange of dry berthing is that I can prepare the boat with her out of the water without incurring the costs of frequent lifting out.

Also, this weekend saw the first part of the installation of the fuel flow sensor. The network cable has been run forward from the fuel tank to the rear of the instrument panel. It is a Lowrance NMEA 2000 network and so adding the EP-60 should be very straight forward. The connections have been made and the chartplotter recognising the EP-60 so all that remains is cutting of the fuel line and installing the sensor itself. I expect this will be done this week.

Once this is installed I will be running fuel consumption runs at the first weather window. More on this soon.
