Happy 2018 as we are getting to know Spirit Song.                               The Great Loop departure is on the horizon.

We continue "tweaking" and learning the location of major systems on board. To be completely honest there has been a continuation of issues to be fixed. We have handling and propulsion issues most of which 9we think) are connected to software and adjustments from Joy Stick Pro and throttles to bow thruster and engines. These features/products were provided from a 3rd party vendors

Joy and I decided to add a rear facing camera on the stern under the roof. It is a fixed camera standard camera (like a home security camera) with video input routed to the TV. The decision was based on the fact standing at the helm and backing up as the operator the port side of boat can not be seen standing at the helm. Planning to cruise alone we felt for safety I needed some extra "eyes" when backing into a slip or other tight spots. 

At our request Mirage added covers to the engine mounting boxes. The uncovered box mounts collect trash and water while in a slip or anchorage. No functional value but definitely improves eye appeal.

During the Christmas Holiday Coco and I spent several nights on Spirit Song. Even though the temperature was below normal we were comfortable. Coco had no problem sleeping!  

The time we are investing has been beneficial for Mirage, us and for future TT35 owners. Patience is an essential element. Stay positive and look forward enjoyable cruising.
