I was here in June 2008, with Dennis Dakin and his Chuck Paine designed Bermuda 55' Heartbeat, before we brought her to Discovery Bay, Hong Kong, with crewmate John Karas. That was June and the winds meant we could go straight to Hong Kong, not quite the case now, with that NE monsoon...
Grant and boyz have been out and about town, working on the water pump, which had rusted out screws, seized bearings, rusted springs on brushes, all probably from the water ingress we had on our first offshore in the San Fernando Race, 2009. That sure caused lots of damage, lots of it only over time.... Have had the water pump overhauled by local guy and now hoping will work in reinstallation.
ReplyDeleteAlso to source spare hoses for engine and genset.
Then will check weather routing and head off when they think fit.
You will be pleased to know pump installed and working.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Grant.
