[Rhodes22-list] Commissioning

[Bill Effros]

Dave,

Could you write up what went wrong during commissioning?

Commissioning after coming off a long trip into an unfamiliar launch 
area is a lot different than commissioning after you have left the boat 
for yourself in a place you know well.

Were your problems unique to your place?

Was needed equipment not available?

Was the boat less than 100% ready to launch?

What went wrong?

Working tired is one of the biggest mistakes we make.  I still do it, 
instead of working only when well rested, and it makes the work take 10 
times as long as it should.

As you can see from the many splashdown reports, many people on the list 
can launch a boat that has made only a short trip in less than an hour.  
Some can do it in less than a half hour, if it's something they do 
frequently.
