Just arrived at South Side Marina in the Turks and Caicos after a
moderately challenging run south from the Exuma Islands. We'll
probably be here for 2 or 3 days while we rest up and plan out the
next leg of the trip, most likely the Dominican Republic or possibly
all the way to Puerto Rico if we have a really good weather window.

We caught a nice Mahi Mahi about 20 miles SE of the Exumas and
promptly cooked it up for dinner that evening. Delicious.

Excellent, Wayne!

Tim, I'm pleased to report that "our" alternator is performing
flawlessly so far. *Admiral Diane has prepared a number of meals while
we were underway without using the generator at all, just the juice
supplied from the big Leece-Neville to power the stove top, microwave,
toaster, etc. *When we finish a days run the big house bank of golf
cart batts is always fully charged. * That has cut back the need for
generator run time a great deal.

Oh how I love the idea of massive armies of electrons flowing at high
speed, AND in proper accordance!

Nothing like a little resistance to heat things up

DON"T SAY THAT!!!

Indeed! Maybe you should contact Boeing and give them some pointers on battery
management for their Dreamliner.

LION batteries have always had an issue with heating up and blowing
apart.
