Today was a big maintenance day. We have been waiting for the swells to go down so we could look at fixing the generator. Access to the generator is via a hatch near the rear starboard hull. With the big waves and the speed we have been doing, every once in a while the waves would wash up the rear steps. We didn’t want the rear lazarette to get swamped. It was calmer today, but we still had some wave action, so they opened up the hatch, shoved me in, and gave me a headlamp, and a vhf radio. The generator was bought in Greece and was originally configured for 240 volts, and reconverted back to 110, but it was having some problems. I poked around for a bit, then realized I needed a few more tools. I called on the mobile vhf, but got no answer! I figured I might be in there a while, but I was able to knock on the hull and get their attention. After some fiddling around with the wiring, I was able to get the generator up and running. With the generator operational, we were able to make water. We made about 50 gallons of fresh water, so both tanks were completely full. We carry two water tanks, each holding 100 gallons of water.
While we were inspecting the boat, Rodney noticed that the jib had damaged the flood lamp, which is located about 30 feet up the mast. The smallest guy gets to go up and take down the flood lamp. Guess who is the smallest guy in the crew. It wasn’t too bad, the mast doesn’t move around nearly as violently as a monohull. I was able to get the old lamp apart and disconnected. We also had a shackle on the roller furling come loose, and they were able to replace the shackle.
It’s getting warmer, at 10:15 pm, it’s 76 inside the cabin. We are in t-shirt and shorts weather during the day, soon it will be the same at night.
