LaGmra Day 11 - CHECKLIST - Charts & Manuals 04 Dec, 06 - 21.16

Before I loose too many visitors to the website, I promise, this is the last of the checklists.
A final wrap up of all the manuals including the Wiring Schematic for the entire boat, to be stored in water tight casings. Nothing to get really animated about, but critical enough for repairs at sea.
It has taken me a little longer than I expected to load the boat and have
everything to my satisfaction. I have insisted on loading the boat my self so I know the exact inventory and location of all items by memory.
With all the work going in the dock, the hatch and deck has played host to everything from fiberglass dust, iron filings and volcanic ash that gets blown across from the beach. I spent a good few hours till 10.00 pm cleaning the inside to bring it upto to an acceptable standard of hygene. I hear respiratory illnesses are undesirable.
The final act of the day was washing all the Neoperene Rubber layering, my weapon of choice, for the floor of the hatch.
Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber popular in wetsuits and protective gear. Neoprene has a variety of properties that make it quite useful, including being abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, waterproof, somewhat stretchable and buoyant, resists degradation from sun, ozone and weather and is inflammable. In short, it seems to do everything except make coffee.
Moving on, tomorrow is a small shopping trip across the water to Tenerife. Just discovered that 2 of the dry bags on board have been torn. Also on the list is extra Epoxy and Fuses and other bits and bobs.
Thanks all for now. Its 11.45 pm here. Off to grab some dinner.
More tomorrow,
B
