Collected books won on e-bay on way to boat. these are pilot books for the south and west coast. First job on the boat was to fit the new larger helm pod having already fitted new chartplotter in apperture along with wind instruement and IS15 combi unit. This is in conjunction with new AIS (automatic information system) and also wiring this through the helmpod and connecting to the chartplotter. Although extremely fiddly and awkward to get to - this was successful. However chart plotter is not displaying all wind and position information at all times. 'must be a wiring fauly somewhere' more diagnostics needed! Spent all day Friday trying to find the fault but with no luck. On Thursday I also found that the new lines for the cruising shute had been cut fifteen metres to short!!!! aghhhhhh. Very frustrating few days as most jobs still need finishing in some way or another. Weather has turned very poor so have returned home on Friday 18.02.11
