Skalliwag adventures

Cambridge Sailnet Reunion. 2015

26 July 2015
When I got back to Skalliwag while working on the dink I kept hearing this awful crackle on the VHF. When I got done and went below I noticed battery voltage at 11.9 V!!!! It could not have had more than 130 amps out. Is the battery in the drink? With the fridge still running. I've noticed that whenever I am not plugged in the fridge runs continuously. Do I also need new refridgeration? So I turned the fridge off, battery volts recovered without the continuous 10 amp draw. Left it off overnite.
