Sailing with a Vancouver 28

Alternator and Starter Installed

My stay at CN Victoria is due to end on Sunday. After 11 months as a transitorio it is time to go. The plan is to prepare the boat this week and sail down to Buenos Aires on Sunday.

First up was the installation of the refurbished alternator and starter motor. Both were fitted without any problems and the engine started immediately.

The electrical wiring installation on my Yanmar 2GMF is a real dogs breakfast. I have not paid much attention to it as there have been no problems. At some point it will have to be sorted into some semblance of order.

The engine has had little use this year and is in excellent condition despite being over 12 years old with 1575 running hours. However parts of the installation have rusted badly, including the shaft coupling, all four engine mounts and the air filter housing.

Teatro Ateneo

To Buenos Aires for a concert at Teatro Ateneo.

It is a lovely little theatre on Paraguay just south of Avenida 9 Julio.

We went to see
Juana Molina. An excellent concert if a little short at 1hr 15 minutes.
