Spring shake down

The boat has been in the water now for a week.  We have been working hard to put her back together and testing all of the upgrades and work I did this winter.  So far everything is working the way they are suppose to.  Some of the items that didn't work;

1. 1 running light which was disconnected.
2. Wind speed indicator (cooked I think)
3. AIS from radio to Raymarie.  Another disconnected cable.

Besides that everything else seems to be working well.  The solar panel is awesome, the 1500 watt power inventor is great.  Now have lots of power for the boat to keep the refrigerate going 24 and 7.   Been out on the habour a couple of times so far.  Twice on a habour tour under power and once under sail yesterday.  The new rudder is working great and the shaft balance seems to help with the engine noise.

The other thing I have been working on is a Excel spreadsheet to track all the items that I have been repaired and installed.  I was starting lose track of when and what I have done to the boat.  Would also like to make another sheet to track equipment serial numbers and models.  Maybe I should also have a sheet to track the spares that I have on the boat since I spend 1/2 hour looking for a part yesterday.
