After lunch, it was more buoy and slip practice along with determining our Estimated Position by chart and hand bearing compass. (Gene said we could learn to use a GPS on our own - hand bearings will always work, if you know how.) Back to the slip where Sherri backed in (also with several approaches).

To give you some figures I reduced power wiring costs from an estimated $5000 to about $2000 by utilizing this design. Instead of using plastic coated stranded tinned wire, I designed the main power buss using solid copper bar stock.

Just then a tremendous blast of wind I would estimate at 75 mph hit the marina. Many of the sailboats were knocked down in their slips! All sailors not in the lounge came running up from their boats. I jumped into my foulies and went running to our boat.

After doing over a million dollars worth of cylinder repairs in the last two decades, I'd estimate that applies to about five percent of all commercial off the shelf cylinders. The rest failed prematurely due to not being manufactured correctly at the factory.

in addition to the new batteries, I'm now staring at 3-4 times that - about $1300 for the Heart inverter and Link 1000, another $200 for a relay to separate the starting battery plus new cables and bits and pieces, $400+ for a high capacity alternator with 3-stage regulator, and whatever for other unforeseens and professional installation - the electrician estimated

(less than 5% is my estimate. ) So technically, a boat wired with Cobra cable is not fully complaint with ABYC but that doesn't mean the boat is substandard in the wiring department.

Our hull and engine surveyors did a very good job in my estimation, and I would never recommend replacing their function with a friend, no matter how knowledgeable he or she may be. But a boat, like a house, can be a pretty dramatic purchase in terms of the money and the amount of work that might have to be done.
