2023 Tuglet Happenings

This year we launched from Blind River and immediately got to work commissioning Tuglet.

1.  a new 100 Ah AGM battery for our new windless
2.  a new windless
3.  new wiring and fuse panels for the solar panels and electronics
4.  a new iPad for navigation
5.  Starlink for internet connectivity
6.  reinstalled the Echocharger to charge the new AGM battery

Gear changes and status of last years changes

1. The water bladder worked well since the change to quick disconnect hose fittings and removal of the support table.
2. The new solar panel wiring and resetting of the charging algorithm worked well to keep both the lithium and AGM batteries charged
3. The new starter was replaced with the original unit. the refurbished unit worked perfectly
4. The echo charger was reinstalled between the two AGM batteries  and seems to work to keep both batteries at full charge.
5. Added the Starlink antenna between the 2 VHF antenna and low enough to clear the swing bridge at Little Current
