Pulpit Repaired

The repaired pulpit is ready to re-install. This should be completed this week.

Bow Pulpit Fix

A new section has been tack welded into the bow pulpit. The railing
will be removed and taken to the welder's shop for final welding and
polishing. Once complete, the repaired pulpit will be reinstalled.

Spa Treatment

Sensei is in the shed for her annual maintenance. She'll be back on the water in a couple of weeks, refreshed and ready for the next adventure.

Energize

From this display you can see the solar panel voltage climb at sunrise and shortly thereafter, it starts to supply power for charging the batteries. This test was performed at the dock with no overnight loads. I'm looking forward to trying it again at anchor with typical loads.

Solar

We're installing solar panels on Sensei today. Looking forward to all of those "free" amp hours!

Fireworks!

It rained a bit, but we still got to see fireworks on Round Bay last night!

Amp Hour Meter

We just installed a Victron amp hour meter to keep track of how our house batteries are doing. This will make it a lot easier to know when to run the generator, and how long to run it for. Ideally, we work our batteries between 60-90% charged, where the generator is most efficiently used to generate charging amps.

This meter also monitors the engine starting battery bank voltage, which would have been really handy to have back when those batteries were dying.
