Back at Granville Island dock last night after our Indian Arm cruise. We are back for more electronics repairs, hopefully they can fix it right this time.
Pouring rain this morning and supposed to rain all day, up to an inch (25 mm).
The tech from CMC arrived promptly at 10AM as promised , took out the new (last week) course computer and installed a warranty replacement. At the dock that did seem to fix the problem of the rudder going hard over but it was too rainy and crappy to do a sea trial so I will reserve judgment till we actually see it in action.
As far as the DSM, he replaced a cable and a couple of plugs and re made some electrical connections (again). Again it is stable for now at the dock but we can only hope that the problem is fixed this time.
Weather should be better tomorrow so we will do a full sea trial and compass linearization then try again. The tech, Levy Manuel, is a really nice professional guy and I am sure he is doing his best for us
Decided to stay here for 2 more nights, wait out the bad weather and do some more fresh food shopping, we sure went through the last fresh veggies and fruit pretty fast. We sure eat good while we are boating<
Sad news today , Jack Layton ,NDP leader and leader of the official opposition in parliament died this morning aged 61, only 4 weeks after a cancer diagnosis. While I never agreed with his politics it was obvious that he was a committed and energetic leader who did great things for his party and worked hard for what he believed in . It is so sad to see his life cut short so soon after achieving his greatest electoral victories and the best showing the NDP has ever had in parliament.
