Hello all, I haven't been checking in here much in the last couple of months because I haven't been sailing in as long, but I did get to go out for a few hours the other day. It was a pretty good day.
The
boat has been anchored in the bay here unattended for a couple of months and came through the period pretty much intact and undamaged. Just a couple of minor things maybe some here can give some advise on.
First something airborne must have hit my
solar battery maintainer. The glass is broken and seems to be dead now. But the
battery still seems to have plenty of
power left in it after 2+ months, But now I need to replace it with something else, thinking of a thin film
charger. The second thing is the line the is used to raise and lower the kick up
rudder, I left the
rudder in the
water and the line is anchored below the waterline and rotted away, What kind of line should I replace it with? I would think some sort of nylon/polyester line would resist rotting pretty well. The line that was there feels like a cotton cloths line.
Also now thinking of moving the
boat to a different
anchoring location. There aren't really too many interesting / good places to sail around here in Venice, so I was thinking of moving the boat up to
Sarasota Bay or down to
Charlotte harbor. But thats just a thought for now.
Thanks for any advise.
