11/07/2009, Back to Winlink Email
The engine is running and we are about to pull anchor here in Santa Rosilia. So anyone wishing to contact us will now have to do so through our Winlink email address. If you don't have it, well, send us an email at our svthirdday@ email address and then we will ad you to our approved senders list on Winlink and give you that email address. We can send and receive through the Winlink address from anywhere in the world through our Ham radio and can even make blog updates (but without photos) over the Ham Radio email.
If you are thinking of going cruising, I would highly recommend such a system for staying intouch with friends and family!
Adios

11/07/2009, It was a glorious feast!
Some might ask, why all the bandwidth dedicated to a hot dog cart and earlier a taco cart on what should be a sailing and cruising Blog? The answer is simple; cruising is as much about eating your way through the country you are visiting as it is about sailing. In fact, take away my sails and I'll still cruise happily along, but take away the fabulous and cheap local foods and I'd end this cruise immediately....for what fun would it be?
It's a Family Biz with Mom taking the money and the sons doing the cooking, Dad was off tonight.
Toppings include:Sauteed onions, roasted pepper, cheese wiz (ya I know, but it's Great!), onions, Tomatoes, mustard and Mayo
The Girls enjoying the Feast
Jason with Extra Cheese Wiz!
You will notice that there are no photos of the Admiral stuffing hot dogs into her mouth, after all, I'm not stupid, just crazy!

11/07/2009, this is getting old
Like a bad dream that comes night after night, it would appear that my batteries (or my charging and electrical system) is acting up again. So on that last post about my To Do List, please add continued battery issues to the list! Once again, each morning the batteries are at 12v even after a full day of charging (engine, solar, and Generator), so it's back to the tear apart game to try and find the problem. First off will be a change out of the alternator and regulator before we pull anchor in the morning and continue south. We will spend much of the day motoring, which could provide and chance for the replacement alternator and regulator to property charge the batteries and then we will take it from there if the following morning we see our battery voltage back down to 12.0v. We are currently running our Honda generator to power our battery charger to add some Amps to the batteries to give us a fighting change to keep the voltage up through the night. It's not a good neighborly thing to run the generator at night in the anchorage, but alas, what else could we do.besides open the through hull fittings and sink her to the bottom, another great day in Paradise!
