Well, if forgetting batteries is my biggest error, then I admit to it!

You already did. You also admitted to not addressing the error once you
noticed it.

dedicated double socket, but they will be hidden. A flip of the
switch will have the inverter replace the shore power, ...

Care to elucidate on the wiring for this?

I haven't installed it yet, so I haven't worked it out. When installed, the two
aft sockets will work with the inverter. Suzanne's blow dryer is 12v anyway.

After 8 years, I strike a rock which is charted, because I misjudged my
distance from Potters Field. What's more is that I admit to making this silly
error.

If I recall correctly, there was an observer aboard who posts here. We have no
idea how many rocks were hit and not reported here.

My boat doesn't have any power at present, although
I'll probably want to add that somewhere down the line. Since the marina has
shore power, it would be good to have an idea of how things connect up.

With such a small boat I wouldn't bother with this. Simply run an extension
cord for what you need. Ghost (My pearson 30) had a heavy duty cord that ran
right through a vent and that worked fine.
Alien has a pretty complex power system for such a small boat, but the inverter
was never installed.

Or do you reckon that TV
and (secondary?) DVD player should take precedence?

TV runs on DC along with it's built in DVD player.

You should have remembered the spares for Suzanne's Pocket Rocket
also fit your hand-held.

When you play Deep Purple records, do you have everything louder than
everything else?

A generally have everything set to 11.

| In any case we were able to use the GPS for the whole trip.

Yeah Bob... sure you were! Bwahahahahahahahaaa!! You claimed the whole trip
was done by line of sight with only "spot checks" on the GPS.

Nice job of contradicting yourself. Spot checks on the GPS on the last day all
day.
Thanks!

Odd... you claimed a few days ago that you forgot to buy batteries... now
you say you did buy them but lost them?

Poor mooron. To much drinking. We forgot to BUY them in Port Jeff. I forget to
BRING them on city Isle.

RB

Sure we addressed it!
Suzanne said, "Baby, don't forget the batteries when we get to the store."
I said, "No way, bunny bear!"
And the rest is history.
