Other points of interest last night great disappointment - we worked on engine with Shays help until 11 pm - the engine would not charge the batteries. rang customs and delayed departure - removed alternator today and took in for testing - proved ok
the marine electricians from Half Moon Bay came to the boat and fitted some meters to more easily keep a check on things and eventually found a faulty connection which had also affected the rev counter and oil warning light as
well as the charging
So really a great stroke of luck to have the problem now not in 3 days time at sea!!!
Hope to leave in morning after clearance again from customs
