Today was spent mostly on various boat projects such as rewiring one of the solar panels which had some wire corrosion, recalibrating the autopilot after its brain was scrambled by the jury-rigged alternator regulator, and cleaning and lubricating the anchor winch. After a few more projects tomorrow, Sand Dollar will be ready for the 580 mile passage to Penrhyn Island on Wednesday.

My Seattle friends Jeff and Kathy on "Bold Spirit" came over for a sundowner and then we enjoyed a fine dinner at the Yacht Club, probably my last restaurant meal until Pago Pago 4-6 weeks from now.
