And the shitfight continues.
Supposed to be going in tonight, sparky with earth plate turns up this morning, two days late, drops it off to me to fit, will be back down later to check current when boat is in.

Bloody bolts are 2 inches long
Hull planks are 2 inches thick
Silicon bronze bolts on short notice are rare as rocking horse shit
Couldn't even get a pair machined in time.
Half a day running around like an idiot while trying to organise last minute jobs and ended up having to airfreight 2 in effectively costing me $100/ bolt. (Extra night hardstand, airfreight for a $4 bolt)
Then, to top the day off my wife's mother passed away. (Long illness, was expected)

Hopefully they will arrive in time for tomorrow afternoons slot.
Then shitfight 2 begins.
