G'day,
I hope you're keeping well!
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. Genset has just been serviced as have mains. Mains oil level a touch high after service but running fine and no apparent issues.
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. New run at 1610 weekdays!
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. Haven't been any irregular no washes or NTMs to effect - Independence has been pushing a small barge around Clinton 1, keep an eye out for them.
7. Charts have been updated to latest NTM.
8. Please do not remove the charger for boat phone - the one off here went missing and this is one I had at home.
9. Stores order is in for a few items.
10. Sea cocks are closed.
11. 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.
12. We just cleaned over engine blocks with lanolin so please be careful going down there as may be a little slippery.The port side gear box dipstick pops out during operations slightly so push it back in all the way to check during prestarts, not an issue, may just be a slightly blocked breather. Have told Brodie about issue.
13. We have vacuumed and cleaned out the bilges but some rain water may be present especially in the genset box. I think it leaks through the forward E-STOP hatch. Have asked for some sealing tape to fix.
14. Replaced all Marina Mooring lines as I'm sure you're aware.
15. Monthly Maitenance due 28/2/18. See flagged emails.
Nothing else comes to mind...
Have a safe and happy swing!
Tony and Ryan.
