Debugging Power Issues Today

11 April 2012 | 10 49'S:110 04'W, 9th Day out of Galapagos - 1610 miles under our belt

John has been spending the day debugging our power consumption issues. It started with the inverter going into error mode when ever we ran the generator to recharge our batteries. So he is trying to chase down what might be causing all the load on the inverter and causing it to overheat. I'm sure he can explain more in detail tomorrow, but that is a far as I understand it for now. Today is a bit of a blah day overall. It's pretty well overcastl with a very large rain cloud hanging off our port side - I'm just waiting to see when we're going to get dumped on, or if it passes us by - like everything else. We're moving so slow we even got passed by a turtle today. Not good for crew morale. We've generally been moving along between 4-5 knots, but sometimes less than that. It feels very slow. John claims we are officially half-way. I say we are unofficially half-way. If you go by how much mileage we expect to put under our keel on this passage, which is roughly 3200 miles, then yes, we are half way. BUT, if you look at the distance between the Galapagos and the Marquesas, the half-way mark lies around 114 degrees 39 minutes West, and we are not quite there yet. So it looks like we are going to celebrate our half-way point twice in order to keep peace on the boat. Well, I better get back to my first mate duties - all for now!
