October 2016...<\/span><\/h5>\nEvery picture tells a story! I arrived in Fremantle having cancelled my crew (Andy) as the mechanics decided at the last minute to recondition the heat exchange elements. Unfortunately, reconditioning went wrong and resulted in new ones being flown in from the Man factory in Germany. It took a week to finally get the show on the road and I filled in the time getting various other issues sorted. New anchor chain, replaced due to the existing one being the wrong pitch and not gripping as it should on the gypsy. New card for the plotters ordered and installed, second hand radar magnetron installed, IBC fuel containers on board and secured and a myriad of little fixes performed.<\/p>\n
Weather was mostly calm with a few exceptions. However the \u00a0piece de resistance<\/i>\u00a0was running out of fuel literally 200 metres from our destination in White Bay (Sydney). I had calculated we would have 700 ltrs left in the tank. When we filled up, we could only put 4,800 lt in the tank which was specified by Sunseeker as 5,500 lt so my estimation was spot on. Still havent received an answer as to why??<\/p>\n
