Dolphins coming into the estuary to play and catch fish. They swim in a spiral showing off their white undersides and flopping around in the water. I caught this mother and calf in my backyard in the marina

Theft
05/27/2011

Two people broke into the cars here at the marina. They smashed every cars drivers windows looking for money etc. Very little was stolen and the police apprehended the culprits using the marinas new CCTV camera footage. The car that wasn't broken into had an alarm sticker on the window. A wise investment considering my window cost $280 to replace.

Electrics
05/27/2011

Finished rewiring all the electrics on the boat. Wired in the circuit breaker board and battery switcher. Ran off the batteries for 3 weeks using just the windgenerator for charging. Batteries didn't drop below 12.2 volts. The Rutland windgen seems to put out around 14 volts max. All the running lights are back online. Just need to buy some LED spreader lights and fininsh the LED interior lights.
