And the last of the mechanical photos are presented today with the finished product ready for service. Desiring reliable, long term mechanical stability for Royal Star, we believe we made the right choice - this time. Now powered by Caterpillar C-18's, with ZF 350 transmissions, Royal Star is set up to provide many years of dependable operation. As long as we do our part, she will do the same. Now it is back to fishing and "normal" reporting. Tomorrow we depart on our maiden voyage with the new machinery. Prospects are strong and our departing weather appears to be fine following today's big blow. We will load gear and stores today in preparation for an early morning departure tomorrow. Needless to say we are more than ready to make the switch from turning wrenches to turning reel handles; and how.

4/6/12 A few shots today of the finished product prior to what became successful a successful sea trial. As one can see the engine manufacturer's take the performance of their products seriously with the full compliment of test points covered both maunally and electronically (only about a third of the equipment used is visible here).
