The nav
station/distribution panel, and GPS/plotter to the left, the grey object
in the panel right of the stereo is the chart chip reader for the plotter.
There's a matching clock for the barometer but it's out for repair. |
View

Helm
position and seat....with the helmslady enjoying the job! notice how the 3
month old canopy has already mildewed badly. |
A good shot of the
roll-away deck cabin - pity the material turned out worthless. It's being
re-made in better stuff and in blue...better shade effect. |

The
anchorage fishing village...looks kind of nice yes? |
Interesting
shot this, it's the other side of the anchorage and the camera is on max
range - this is all of 3/4 mile away! |

Shower floor sump,
tip-toe pump and Teak grill cunningly fitted around pump! (SB
- I had to clip the lower part, it wasn't for the squeamish
:-)) |

Another
shot of the panel, but with the clock in place - having just got it back
from repair. This clock is a Weems & Plath, German company, note on
the face says "made in France", one month old and it failed,
tried changing battery but it uses "N" size- not available here
of course. Got batteries from Guam - still no good. Took it to a local
clock repairer who removed the complete (quartz) movement (Stamped
"made in China"!) and fitted a complete new one (much better,
stamped "made in Taiwan"!). Now working perfectly, same original
face, and uses standard 'AA' battery......total cost US$5.0 - less than
the postage to return it for warranty repair! |
Detail
of the swivelling nav seat (screwed down to the solid 25mm hardwood sole
epoxied in after the ply backbone was removed in this area.)

Didn't
get the boat beached today...ran up on it just before top of the tide, but
didn't get it quite right so waited for a swell and backed off again to
try (last chance!) tomorrow. Got a one hour high tomorrow so plenty of
time to get it right. We're going to try reversing in close with all
weight stowed fwd, then winch her on stern first. There's no appreciable
swell so don't expect rudder problems, but I need to make sure the sterns
are above the tide line for a few days to do glass work. Goto page 4 |
