Weblog of the mate of sailing vessel Nahani. The Repowering Project: Days 34-38 (Monday 5 to Friday 9 January 2009). The astute reader will note a gap in proceedings between this post and the last. Engineer and mate returned to Melbourne for Christmas, came back with a friend and went sailing, enjoying all that new power. Friend returned to Melbourne on 4 January, and the engine project resumed to do those last few jobs which didn't actually stop us sailing but which need to be finished off. Another job ...

Weblog of the mate of sailing vessel Nahani. Stove Project: New stove "goes live". Monday 1 August is our last day with our hire car, so we use it to provision the boat. Big supermarket trip, and when we've unloaded and packed the food away, we head down Tedder Avenue for lunch and to the BWS to restock the cellar. Then to Southern Stainless to get a bit of extra welding on the holder for the spare gas bottle, return the hire car, and back to. Next meal will test out the oven. Can't wait. Re-rigging Day ...

Weblog of the mate of sailing vessel Nahani. The Repowering Project: one month later. Some of the little jobs mentioned in the last post are still on the To Do list, but basically the project is finished and we are delighted with the performance of the new Yanmar, coupled with the change to bigger blade on our Autostream prop, which is now well-matched to the engine.
