Day 14: Mooloolaba

Electrician arrived early and went over our system. He reckons the alternators aren't too bad but the wiring may be the problem. If parts of the system are developing a high resistance, this will eat power destined for the batteries. As he couldn't rule the alternators out, I asked him to bench test them anyway. We get them, and the result, in the morning.

Picked up a hire car for a couple of days and immediately got stuck in with visits to Jaycar, Bunnings, and The Good Guys - the latter to get the vacuum cleaner sorted. Very pleasant lunch in Maroochydore.

Traced the problem with the wind instruments. That sodding rat!

Rat damage on the wind instrument sender cable. Another repair needed.

Got back to the boat and overhauled the dinghy hoist on the targa bar. Almost done.

Thai takeaway for dinner.
