[singlepic id=189 w=320 h=240 float=right]I have been remiss about blogging lately.\u00a0 The days have been short as we prepare for the cruise.\u00a0 The past two days have been spent installing the wind generator that we have never used.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see if it has any value in the winds here on LM.\u00a0 I did the job correctly this time, with a switch for OFF, ON and SHORT in the aft Lazerette, plus a fuse near the battery\u00a0and new 70A\u00a0diodes mounted on a heat sink.\u00a0 The picture shows the wind generator and switch.<\/p>\n
Previously we installed a “temporary” hailer horn to use with the DSC radio.\u00a0 The radio will output fog audio depending on the GPS velocity readings.\u00a0 It also outputs anchor, aground and siren signals at adjustable frequencies.\u00a0 Cool stuff this radio has – a Uniden 525 with Wham4 wireless remote.\u00a0 I also think that I can use the horn for the GPS anchor alarm output but that is for another day.<\/p>\n
The month\u00a0of July has gone fast.\u00a0 Last Friday and Saturday we volunteered for the KANQ Balloons Aloft event.\u00a0 It was a smashing success with 10K plus people going through the airport in the two days.\u00a0 Sunday we attended church and Monday morning we returned to the boat.<\/p>\n
We are almost ready to go now but are awaiting the dingy that is being repaired at Wolf’s Marine (they are expensive but the best at inflatable repair).\u00a0 Our friends in S\/V Paramour left yesterday and it makes us a little jealous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
