Day 282, Finished refrigeratior lid, Shacles puzzle, Complete cockpit measurements to model it, looking spot for solar power setup

Windlass After 4 years I decided to replace windlass motor with brand new one. My motor sometimes dropping power during  long hard run. I know the problem, when i repaired it i could not find right brush springs and installed what I had in hands. Very likely one of springs is loosing strength when brush at getting hot. I plan to replace springs and keep old motor as as spare. During that work Vic found the both shackles on the anchor chain are cracked, When I have undone pins i was able to break them in half by hands. I can't imagine how i did not lost my anchor!!!!! Replaced with Zinc galvanized. Really no sense to have stainless shackles in between galvanized anchor and galvanized chain.  Refrigerator Finished build a lid. Refrigerator project officially complete.     Sailing Had a nice couple hours evening sailing  at Saturday
