A few shots today of the finished product prior to what became successful a successful sea trial. As one can see the engine manufacturer's take the performance of their products seriously with the full compliment of test points covered both maunally and electronically (only about a third of the equipment used is visible here). Less the spider web of wires and boxes of gauges our new and improved machinery space cleaned up quite nicely with the main engine change. Long time Royal Star customers will definitely find a new tone when we are underway as these new Cat C18's are throaty to say the least.

Aside from a few loose ends we are again ready for business preparing for the upcoming voyage on the 15th with a good, long test run prior to our ultimate departure. Rest assured these babies will be shook out and well tested before we cast off committed.

I'll send a more shots over the next few days of the project in progress. For now enjoy these of the finished product.

The characters are definitely the same though, with an admitted exponential number of years, and grey hair, added by events during the prior three. Right now though, with the ten ton white elephant off our backs, we are more than ready to get back to fishing. But before that happens we have a few more wrenches to turn....... Read More
