Not every day can be a day of rest and today Bob decided to service the windlass. The windlass is the motorized winch that is used to lower and raise the anchor.
Bob figured out piece by piece how to disassemble the windlass, cleaning each piece as he went.
Based on lessons learned in the past, we remembered to take photos along the way to be sure he could put it all back together again in the right order and position.
Christina did her part, sitting next to Bob with the diagrams reading the service instructions from the manual aloud step by step.
Now we have no excuse not to go out and anchor to be sure it all still works well.
