We got up about 7 am, and discovered the dorade above the bed is leaking. There are four of these on the boat, the other three don’t leak only this one. I tried sealing it a week or two ago, but apparently missed something. Oh well.
After breakfast and devotions, I went to work on the bow thruster. After some research (I sent an email to the previous owner and asked on Facebook for help (the previous owner had no idea where the breaker was) the Facebook group is for Island Packet Owners and was pretty helpful, I don’t have a breaker. (Good news it is not tripped, Bad news there is only a single 450 amp fuse between the battery and the bow thruster). So, into the trouble shooting I went. I found out that the big fuse was not blown, which means it is something in the control circuit. I called IMTRA the US support for the bow thruster and got the trouble shooting guide for this bow thruster. Now it is a matter of figuring out what the problem is.
When we got here, Renee’ told them at the desk that we needed a mechanic. So about the time we stopped for lunch, he called and I explained what was going on and he said he would be here tomorrow late afternoon to help with all three of our problems.
Oh, and it is raining!
It is an important point to note that even with all of our problems, we are still having a great time, and not regretting any of this.
So, since we are sitting here on the boat, Renee’ made cookies and I am working on the blog. Plenty to do here.
We do have room for guests, if anyone is interested in visiting and spending a week or so with us, drop us a line and we will coordinate. What you have to do/have is you need a passport and will need to be able to get to where we are when you are going to be down. When we know what time frame you are thinking about we can let you know where we expect to be so that you can make your travel arrangements.
