Up early for a busy day.

| Public jetty at Burnett Heads. |
I jumped in the dink and went shopping. First stop was the post office at Burnett Heads where a couple of solenoids awaited collection. I expect to be back in a couple of days for the rest of Kim's vacuum cleaner. Next was the IGA next door for a few bits and pieces.
 |
| Oooh, look. Goodies for me. |
On the way back, I stopped off at Bundaberg Port Marina. Good news, they no longer charge dinghies tying up to go to the chandlery. I got some fittings and a lot of line. More jobs coming up!
Back on the boat and some local fishermen gave us a bag of small whiting. They cooked up a treat for dinner.
First job was to swap out the solenoids. Immediate improvement. We'll really see the difference on a motoring run and I'm expecting big improvements in the house bank charging.
 |
| Brand new solenoids. |
 |
| New solenoids wired in. |
 |
| Autopsy on the old solenoid. As expected, pitted and corroded contacts. |
Next is to get the mainsail into a usable condition. I put the main sheet on and the traveler lines. Tomorrow I should be able to finish this.
 |
| Main sheet is all good. |
 |
| Traveler runs free. |
