housing. I may have been barefoot, as it was in the little latitudes.

I'd be interested in knowing how you figured out what had caused
the shock and how long it took.

Well without the diesel running the shocks were still happening. It also
happened when touching the bow rail and stern rail. Lets see, the wind
generator pole is clampet to the stern rail. Hmmmm, Lets see what happens when
I stop the wind generator. No shocks. Took the gererator apart, and found the
broken winding. Any body know a good place to get a armature rewound at a
decient price. I was quoted $175. Another solar panel, kept the generator on
the shelf since then, but I might like to get it running again, for those
cloudy days.
