Muscles Sweat & Stretching Ep204
Bikini stretching, batteries, windlass charger, illness, generator starter, pork chops
Join us this time for bikini stretches, batteries, a generator fix and pork chops. We’ve been down with an energy zapping virus and are finally on the mend. Even dancing was hard to manage. Karen couldn’t stand being cooped up down below and had to get out on top for some fresh air and stretches wearing a bikini.
Maintenance checks on batteries lead to replacing the group 27 engine starter battery, dated 7/20, and the Windlass battery, dated 9/19. The windlass battery was upgraded from a regular group 27 lead acid to a group 31 AGM. Both were still functioning though too old for us. Group 27 batteries are a bit heavy yet Steve was able to muscle them off the boat with little trouble. Then, uh-oh, the charger to the Windlass battery wasn’t working. Yep, another replacement project. New charger, Noco Genius 10amp, is now successfully mounted and working flawlessly.
Since we were checking out some of Isabella’s systems, why not start up the generator? Always a good idea to do routine start ups. Well...except this time, the generator didn’t start! It sounded like a starter issue and luckily we had one on board. After blasting and soaking a tight bolt with PB Blaster, Steve took out the old and put in a new starter.
We ended the week with some delicious pork chops, brined with sea salt and rubbed with oregano, onion and garlic powders, pepper and paprika. With an added side of coleslaw it was an excellent meal.
