On Sunday morning, I had coffee with Anne, then biked to the club with the SUP board trailer, hoping to raft up with JT and company.
I did my photographic duties at the club Open House,
I discovered the house batteries were not charging. I troubleshot and discovered the 12VDC always-on busbar had corroded and overheated, killing the battery and starting to thaw the fridge. I tightened the screws, found that a fuse holder had overheated, and replaced it. Finally, at 5PM, I took off, sailing to the GUT, passing ZIG-ZAG and tacking through Lake St Louis, checking in to FUGU at the sandbars. I continued towards Dowkers and anchored there at 7.
I spent the night and a good part of Monday there. At 4 p.m., I set sail slowly through the lake, anchoring at the Sandbars.
The next day, I sailed back to the club. I found that the 40 Amp fuse for the DC-DC charger had blown, and I replaced it at the club. More tidying up of the locker, and at 4PM I took Shark 1 with John to help him get comfortable with her. He was quite comfortable helming and heave-to. We returned to the harbour, and John bought me supper. At the club.
Met Bob at the yard, and he was cleaning his locker and gave me a bunch of boat stuff that he no longer needed.
