G'day Anne Marie,
I hope you're keeping well! Will come down for a coffee one day.
A good, productive swing had by Ryan and I. A few things to report:
1. In the last 2 days boat has been scrubbed, floor scrubbed, windows, toilets and whites detailed, fridge and microwave cleaned, engine rooms and wheelhouse detailed. All the usuals... Should present and feel lovely inside and out!
2. Boat is running fantastic. Replaced Port Jet Reverse Bucket potentiometer this swing. Was found to be faulty. All seems okay with no recurring issue for 3 days now. Genset has just been serviced.
3. You're full of fuel, no sullage and fresh is bunkered to 100%.
4. Run schedule in box on clipboard port side of wheelhouse. All pretty standard if you follow it. Just be aware that the 0620 run is on demand and may leave a bit early or later depending on the direction of the supervisor. Tide book and other working documents on starboard side.
5. Dont forget to power up and start port side engine first before stbd on this vessel or else you can get control unit errors.
6. We received comments that the safety video wasn't loud enough on the back deck. I've adjusted the volumes with the Marine Superintendent Melvin d'Cruz and Lee Jorgensen. They are happy with the levels as they are currently set. The only thing you need to do is set the volume of the DVD player to 20 before playing as if you isolate the batteries it resets to a lower default.
7. Haven't been any irregular no washes or NTMs.
8. Charts have been upodated to latest NTM.
9. New SIMRAD units are good. Charts wont appear on port unit until you power up starboard.
10. Please do not remove the charger for boat phone - the one off here went missing and this is one I had at home.
11. Stores order is in for a few items. The only thing you'll be out of until that arrives is Drifter.
12. Sea cocks are closed.
13. Fuel tank gauges are a little deceiving. They over read by 80l at 25% so 30% means time to take bunkers. (25% on gauges = 170l left by my rough calculations). Unsure if error is linear.
Nothing else comes to mind... I'll touch base with you over the phone anyway.
Have a safe and happy swing!
Tony and Ryan.
