Generator, battery chargers et al

By the end of the day Tim and I wondered what we had done. It ended up we had done loads of little fiddly jobs but nothing major. The most significant thing of the day was a full service of the Paguro 5000 generator. It has done just over 50 hours and so this is the first service. I must say we are really pleased with it. Paul (marine engine mechanic contactable through Malu Marine Ltd) came over to help with the service and it proved a lot easier than we expected.

We removed the old 16 amp shore power as we are now running in a 32 amp shore power. We started, but didn't finish, wiring the twin 96v battery chargers for the battery bank for the motor.

Finally we cleared up after the shore maintenance; moving the latter back home and the paints and other stuff to the long term store.

Back in the water

King Malu has returned to her natural environment. Maybe not as easily as we might have hoped, but she is back in her berth in Larnaca Marina!
