Engines and Generators:Starboard motor still has a vibration, under load. Steering tie bar was disconnected at port drive when we loaded. It was, supposedly, reconnected but was disconnected on our arrival to 1st stop. Reinstalled by us (no cotter pin--used tie wire). No problems the rest of trip. Only (1) spare prop aboard.
110 V and 12 V System: Stereo stopped working 2 hrs into trip. While installing MMC/cranking battery isolator, stereo started working. Worked the rest of trip (all speakers are wired in mono--that's the only way possible with 4 channel stereo & speaker selector switches).
Problems Inside Boat:Not enough trash compactor bags onboard---at $1.10 each, be sure not to use as tall kitchen trash bags. Marine radio mic mounts broken (both).
Problems Outside the Boat: Carpet on upper deck burnt (looks like from fireworks). Port forward corner at rub rail had previously taken hard hit (marina?).
Wish List: Pancake griddle (missing). Wish anchors wouldn't get beaten into the sand with a sledge hammer---we're going to be replacing them. Side to side brace for front of canopy. Towell/clothes hooks in cabins & kitchen. 5th anchor & anchor line.
