**** does happen ,Bob. A short in a cell can take down a battery bank,
for instance, and no amount of maintenance or care can forstall it.
BTW, Wed. and Thurs. look good. Having the bottom cleaned and fresh
zincs today. She will fly.

On sailing into a slip....


It's good to have the skills to sail to your slip. I've done it, but it can be
tricky at more crowded places.
Your engine is a "boat system" and it should be functioning. Sailing into a
slip is good seamanship.
Doing it because you can't keep your engine running is BAD seamanship. Dead
batteries? No excuse for this and I'm sure even Neal would agree.
