Hi Ally and crew, hope you all had a good swing off,
all important emails flagged.
been having problems with port side Genset running rough, maintenance have been down change pumps lines etc over but to no success, know they have swapped ECU’s from port side to starboard side, so if you can tell maintenance if the starboard Genset starts running rough, they will know it’s the ECU that needs replacing, but if the port Genset still runs rough more investigation is needed.
All charts are up to date with corrections.
make sure you do a daily compass error check.
in the radio column of the ships log you have to AN as to say that you have done your announcement to the passengers,
on arriving at QC4 and GL3 with passengers on, an announcement has to be carried out ether yourself or mate.
every time shore power is connected and disconnect it must be logged time and place.
AVO was repaired but #2 com has got a fault in it, MRF submitted today ( Tuesday 29/1/19).
sorry about the more that usual low amount of fuel as I like to refuel just before our afternoon runs, but our morning runs have been changed today from an 0835 to 0935 and made our break later and would not have had enough time to refuel when we came back from break.
sullage was done Monday only one day of running with passengers, so should be good for few days.
this Sunday if you look at the weeks schedule, you will see that Spirit has to cover Parangool for maintenance,
at the moment we can book refuel on Fridays as charter boats not running, but with having no crew on weekends been having to fuel on a Monday and Thursday, just to make sure you have enough fuel for an extra runs that we get.
Starboard FWD air con had gas leak, has been repaired.
we have ordered new filters for the fresh water taps in the wheelhouse as they are due to be replaced, but have not yet received them, if you can chase them up for us would be great.
I have replaced front deck starboard void hatch seals, remove 60 litres of water from void, but if you can keep an eye on this as the hatch might need some more adjustments as the seal settles in.
To turn GPS you have press the red button next to the white VHF radio, wait until you see the icon in the middle of screen and double kick left hand button on the mouse, then the next page will come up then press navigation, you can use both screens with the mouse, the Furuno control panel does nothing, just there to fill in the hole in the dash.
waiting on Acers to come and replace upper saloon starboard forward light unit as bulb holder is held in place with electrical tape and one of the retaining lugs is broken on the body of the light unit, have put a black X on glass as they came in today and replace different light uint today.
I think that’s about it, if you have any questions just phone me, have a good swing John and crew.
