Just so people know this was quite a big heart attack that I just put down to a bad glass of red wine giving me some heartburn so I just went around the house looking for rennes and drinking a load of milk, it was by no means the same way you would see a heart attack on the TV I went to bed after checking the comments on the video I had posted then in the morning l drove down to the chemist to get some pain killer's as I still had the heart burn although I never had heartburn before l was sure that this was it till I could feel the pressure moving down my arm, getting a bit worried now and knowing I had to pick my son up from respite a 1 I thought that if I went to A&E I would be there all day and night so lyn booked an ECG at the Swift care place in Swords and I drove up expecting to be told to take two rennies pay your money and go home but instead within a few minutes they had an ambulance on it's way and off to the matter hospital where no sooner had I arrived I was on the table having the cloth removed and the stint put in. It was a close call and I could have easily let it go on a bit more before seeking help sure it's nothing compared to giving your thumb a good belt with a hammer So just to let you all know if you feel any pressure or pain in your chest ,arms and neck get it check out sooner rather than later as every minute counts in the damage that can be done. Look after yourself.

I have the generator for the few times I find myself without shore power. It's meant to be the "Silent" generator, but can seem quite noisy if run in the cockpit, or even on the jetty near the boat. Because of my electric outboards, I do not have any petrol on board, so the generator runs off my gas supply - no messy filling from a smelly can. I then decided to make a special compartment for it. I was able to locate it on the bridgedeck over the water (Catamaran). I welded a fitting to the exhaust outlet and directed the exhaust straight down through the floor with a flexible exhaust hose and a through hull fitting. Sorted, I thought . I never realised that the heat around the generator would be so intense. I never really thought about the fact that it was air-cooled and that it needed a very good flow of air. The compartment backs on to the cockpit, so I fitted one of these extractors http://www.ie.screwfix.com/manrose-wf150ap-25w-automatic-axial-pullcord-kitchen-fan.html. It's plugged into one of the sockets on the generator and shifts 220m3 per hr and seems to do the trick. Naturally there has to be a good supply of air into the compartment as well. I still have not used it enclosed for any length of time yet, so we'll have to see You have most of the heavy work done now, so take it easy for a couple of weeks and get fit again.
