the advantage to getting up early in the morning is getting to see the island school kids starting their journey to school
Good News-
by 9:00 Cheryl has discovered the VHF radio does work (gets power only) after noticing the negative wire broken off (though there's still the antenna to put back on if we can)
by noon the alternator is not pulsing any longer due to Scott taking off the external regulator (now we just have to keep an eye on the batter charge while motoring - but it's a SAIL boat, isn't it). We'll work on getting another regulator later.
We plan on leaving on Saturday - wish us luck!
Bad News-
by 8:15 a.m. Cheryl is concerned the SSB isn't working since she is unable to hear anyone but Mike who is a hundred yards away, talking on the net. It maybe the tuner. Maybe the Sailmail people didn't get my email that we were ready to use our account again - Divine Intervention.
