Sea Trials

Merry Christmas Buster!!! We've now upgraded the electronics on board and took a Sea Trial today to get everything dialed in with the pros at Anacortes Marine Electronics.  Just being out on the water (with the new electronics as a plus) makes we want to go boating!  I was amazed at how truly comfortable Buster is even in the winter..... OK, it's the 16th, but that is VERY close to being winter. 

We've had a few little issues but these are now resolved/understood/learned more about our boat... the first day we went out for our Sea Trial with Brian, the bow thruster was dead upon coming back into our slip!  Yikes.... we couldn't land and had to make our way over to Marine Service Center and they got us into one of their slips for the night.  Once moored, Chris was able to do his amazing problem solving and found a secret breaker just for the thruster that had kicked off.  The guys at Marine Service Center were at our door for coffee the next morning, went through everything and we got an almost clean bill of health. A few wires need to be wrapped up, but that was it.  Whew!
