Happy Easter - Just Scootin Along!!

We are just scootin along under a bright blue sky �- hardly a cloud around. We thought we might be having some freezer issues today, but have yet to confirm it. Things aren't quite frozen as hard as they should be. John is thinking we might have let our batteries get a bit too low and hence is not enough to run the compressor to keep up with the freezer duties. We pulled everything out of it and turned it off to defrost it (what little frost there was). Then we confirmed it was actually turning back on once we switched it back on, and it is starting to create a thin film of frost - that is a good sign! So everything is back in the freezer and we will check it again later today. So to resolve the battery issue, we may have to run the generator once for a bit in the morning, then again later in the evening - instead of a single time during the middle of the day. This should do a better job of keeping our batteries topped off. John is also going to look into the duo-gen. Seems we aren't getting any power coming from the propeller when it is dropped in the water, but the solar panels seem to be doing their job. One more thing to chase down. Other than that we are doing great! The night-shifts are getting easier as we are now into a full week of maintaining our schedules. Haven't caught a single fish yet, but probably because we are moving too fast - at least that's what we are telling ourselves! We miss everyone and hope you are all having a Very Happy Easter.
