I don’t know how the weather channel can say that the wind is 12km and Predictwind says it is 13 knots. It was blowing and we took the time to fix the reef lines and untangle the main halyard.
Jeff worked on one of the last pieces of the backup electronics system. It’s the one where his system connects to the Raymarine system to give it AIS and the Raymarine connects back to his system to feed it depth, wind direction and speed. He ordered the Seatalk cable and it turns out that the cable he got needed yet another cable to interconnect between the two systems. The lesson I take from this is that Seatalk isn’t my friend as every day we are delayed having to order another connector or wire.
The entertainment system is fully operational. We can play movies off the hard drive and music off the existing sound system from the same hard drive. But we only watched Captain Ron a few days ago and mostly because Jeff had not seen it and the line “If something is going wrong it will go wrong out there.” is a good lesson.
