What kind of wind gen does Skip have? Or what kind of winds is he
normally in to get 15-25 Amps?



Hmm....I don't think I ever looked to see what gen it was. At the time, we
were more worried about his engine alternator failures and the rotted out
AC power battery charger down in the engine room. Sorry I can't help you
further. Skip will be back online as soon as he gets to the dock. They're
up in the Gulf Stream past Hatteras mucking about East of the entrace of
Chesapeake Bay at the moment.

Watch him on Spot:

which gives us position continuously.

I got sailmail from the shore station, today. They've had some rough
weather and some 8-10ft seas in winds that keep flopping around. They're
back in the stream tonight with better weather and time enough Skip can get
some sleep. They had a failure with the spinnaker pole on wing-n-wing
holding out the Genoa that's been trouble, and a little flooding from a
clogged up drain in the boat, but they're fine he reported. The rain has
the boat clean as a whistle from the waves, now.

Track him on Spot at the webpage above and you can ask him about his genny
when he gets to port.
