An update from Patience Camp. The weather suddenly got me thinking about heat on the boat so I started down that path, and also fired up that Chinese 10HP diesel and decided it looked good enough to go ahead and build in the exhaust for it. Today I flew out of snow in Oklahoma to sunshine in Florida. I suppose it’s a good idea if I learn something about sailing while waiting too.

Checking some of the little things off the list.

VMAC Multifunction provides 8kw AC at 110, 220, and even 3 Phase / DC 12, 24, 36, 48 volt; 250 amps of welding current; 45 cfm of air, and 8 gallons per minute of hydraulic fluid off a pump on the PTO. Product support is also great, but I’m hoping we just got a lemon of a generator head, because nothing should die after just 20 hours. https://www.vmacair.com/product/multifunction-power-systems/multifunction-6-in-1-power-system/

In the news from Patience Camp: Many thanks to Brian Homes for the cabinet doors and drawers. And, the davit pullies and winch are working happily together too.

Ohhhh, there’s progress and some nice clutch ideas too.

We’ve run our Max-Air 90 off grid power, but it’s 7.5 hp Baldor L1509T motor struggles on our 10kw generator. So we try out a Stellar SR35 series, 52A, 110-240 VAC at 1-phase soft starter.

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to wait with a good attitude.
