The afternoon of our first full day at sea (18 Feb) was quiet with steady progress of 3-4 knots. We put out the fishing line and tried two different lures with no success. I slid back the engine cover for some checks. The oil level was OK and the transmission needed a top up of about 100 ml. The outer fan belt of the big alternator was a bit loose but we decided that it was OK for now.
I did a deck check and found a cotter pin on the starboard D2 shroud half out because its ends had not been properly flared out - by me, no doubt, when I replaced the chain plates. On the foredeck I found a small adjustable wrench that I had left when working on the anchor well.
