Last year our chartplotter would intermittently refuse to
start. We took it home for the winter,
returned it to Raymarine who found nothing wrong. And to be fair, we tested it at home by
turning it on every day and it worked perfectly. So Ron re-installed it on the boat and guess
what? – it wouldn’t start. After disconnecting all the other instruments to
simulate precisely the conditions at home we had a beer (glass of wine), and
started to think. As we were thinking,
brrr it’s cold tonight we realized that it misbehaved at the start of last
season (when it was cold), and in the middle (when it was cold…). So we, at last, have a hypothesis – we cannot
go sailing when the weather’s cold! (More
on this hypothesis later…) Ron also
installed our new AIS Transponder (ask Mr. Google) and Teresa cleaned,
organized the boat and unpacked our remaining stuff from the car.
Having filled the propane
and water tanks, we dined aboard for the first time this season.
