So Watanga was taken out of the water very early this year as we had a long holiday booked in Japan and we couldn’t risk leaving her unattended in Swanage Bay for that long. A decision justified by a long period of bad weather while we were away.
So now we’re back in Blighty and its time to get on with some maintenance issues, Always something to look at.
major items on the to do list are
- a non functioning wind gauge
- The cabin heater has given up working
- The drive leg was occasionally refusing to lock down (very tricky when docking)
- Steering is getting stiff – cable change
- Rudders are clunking badly – modifications?
The best thing I’ve done is join the geminicatamarans group, which is a great community and has so much useful information and helpful members.
I’ll try to keep you all updated.
Oh and I joined the septuagenarian’s club in October.
