It's been a busy summer of learning; sailing, boat life, and making plans. This video covers the first actual work on the boat! The shaft log was close to failure, which could have sunk the boat. The shore power feed gets upgraded to 30A, and a new 20A circuit is added for more reliable aircon in the summer heat. There's a little treat for those who watch to the end.
