Day 104: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

Technical day.

The alternator belt tension adjustment arm sheared and needed the TLC of a professional welder. An auto service shop in Nelly Bay (NJB Automotive) did a fine job and the arm is back on the engine doing its thing. The whole alternator mounting setup on the starboard engine has been problematic since we got the boat. I'll be looking for replacement parts when we get home.

Newly welded adjuster arm.

Arm on the running engine - seems OK.

A cabin hatch was left open with the blind left closed, i.e. a cat magnet. Stripped down and repaired the result. Pearl The Destroyer strikes again.

Bits of blind.

Blind back in waiting to be catted again.

Great WWSA (+DHs) meet up. Nibbles and drinkies in the rotunda.
