Hi Ian,
boat is running ok.
- Cameras are not always showing up on the screen and weren't recording, maintenance crew have changed the hard drive and waiting on a new dvr, still trying to get that to work properly. Cameras come up on the screen randomly, sometimes they are all there, sometimes there are a few missing.
- Done monthly checks on Saturday the 9th. We found that the pt fwd fir damper wasn't working, couldn't pull the leaver unless you were helping it to lower by pulling the Reset lever inside the engine room, the engineers had a look at it and after doing it a couple of times it loosen up a bit, and you can now get it down by just pulling the release lever, it is still a little bit stiff.
- MRF in for pt and Stbd window wipers.
- A rock got stuck in the anchor while doing drills and when it came up was on an angle and put a couple of marks under the hull, email sent to Willie about it.
- I've made up new stern lines, because the old one was breaking apart, we stored that back in the fwd Stbd void.
- I've up an emergency line for the Marina berth as a bow line with a fix eye and a tag line on it that is always set up to be picked up easily so if it's bowing you off when you get in the Marina the crew has a line that can be picked up and put on quick instead of tying it off, that way you can drive straight back on that. Once the engineer has the springer on that line can then be released and set up on the dock again and we put on the 2 normal bow lines. - A new Notice to mariner came out for chart AUS 245, it's only about deleting an old temporary notice, so nothing needed to be done on the chart that we have onboard because it wasn't in there already. I left the paper in the folder with the runs schedule if you want to look at it.
Everything else has been running ok, any questions give me a call.
Regards,
Ale.
