Default Well, interesting week...

Since we are commenting on "Smoke, and Mirrors"... I was napping in
the aft cabin, and got brought snapped back to reality by a loud
"BZZZZT", and fireworks outside the hatch. I hopped out, and pulled
the wire out, and threw it to the ground. End result was removal of
about 3ft of dock cord, and re-installing the 30 A female connector.
The connectors were shiney, and O.K. The only thing I can think of, is
where the wire was clamped, the conductor insulation flowed over the
years until white got to black. (Green wire was undamaged) Glad I was
in the boat to witness that, as it could have developed into a 911
situation.
