Our goal is to get south to Grenada as weather permits and then work our way back north more slowly, spending time at favorites. We should be in George Town by next week, spend a few days, and then push south to the Turks and Caicos, DR, PR, USVI, BVI, etc. www.tinyurl.com/waynebspottrack |

anews.com... Major fish kill from the extreme cold weather. Watch your raw water intake(s). Wilbur Hubbard Hey, there, Willy, Thanks for the heads-up. Back in Marsh Harbour, shipping boxes off the boat, off to dinner to celebrate, and the work begins in earnest tomorrow. This PM I'll do some little stuff belowdecks, like install the NEW uniden radio I had to buy because, now, 5 weeks after shipping it to them, Uniden STILL hasn't even logged it, let alone touched it or analyzed or, if needed, repaired it. So much for only a $60-something repair. I thought that a month ashore would have been ample time, but no such luck! New chartplotter and pod (wiring will be a bitch!), with new GPS integrated (the [separate] puck GPS is already in and talking to the Cap'n), AIS and splitter, all of which I'll have to integrate with my autopilot and other gear, new serial cables to go with the 3 additional RS232 ports I had put into my computer while in on warranty for a new BIOS and more USB ports (now total 6), which will have to be integrated to my (new) AIS, Pactor (currently with a USB-Serial adapter) and something else I'm forgetting at the moment, high-output alternator (with spare regulators for my, now, 3 {!} spare 70Amp alternators), new helm radio integrated with DSC to the new GPS/chartplotter and the remote extensions (trying to figure out where I'll put them...), new kitchen faucet (old spray pull-out head snapped off, "lifetime warranty" at HD required sending it off rather than in-store exchange, so I bagged it), new mast-top antenna cable as discussed previously herein, new fuel end for the dink tank, having arrived with a Merc rather than Johnson head, leading to air intrusion, rewind spring for said outboard, and a bunch of lesser junk-chores, one of which is to review one of our 5 backup and storage (music, movies, pictures, regular full backups, yada, yada) hard drives, investigate why our inverter kept flaking on the way down here (maybe the 16.1 V we were generating is more than it likes?), and so on. Looking forward to all that, and really enjoying the sweeter sound of the rebuilt injectors we have (no wind, but we wanted to get off the dock, so we drove the 10 or so miles to here) now... L8R Skip and Lydia, hungry -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !

I got a 120A for about 129, and it fits my slot...
