Last weekend saw several jobs progress including a windlass cover, genoa repair, continued work on the electrical system and fitting the outboard bracket in the head. I went out for a quick motor round to charge the batteries and check things over but had a problem. Smoke and a weird noise starting emanating from the engine bay. I stopped the engine and sailed back on to my mooring. The positive cable from the domestic battery fell on to the prop shaft and was arcing over. Very easy to fix and no great drama but a bit alarming at the time.
