The BFG close to complete

We spent last weekend cleaning, wrapping, sealing and replacing much of our steel ballast rods. They nestle in the newly painted engine bay alongside the BFG. This is Simon the sparky, making sure that the electrics work.

We're almost there. This past Friday Simon made sure that the BFG can run the full 240v on his own. This is good; it means that we can run the washing machine whilst we travel or are away from shore power. The next thing is to ensure that the BFG talks to Ivor (the inverter) to ensure that we can charge our batteries from either Bella donk (prop engine) or the BFG.

Soon!
