Today the wind is down, lake is open and the ground snow covered but it is overcast.\u00a0 I have an Aviation Board meeting to attend this afternoon\u00a0at 1730.\u00a0 Nothing controversial but a normal sit in meeting.<\/p>\n
I took a friend, JIM V, with me yesterday and we went up to the boat in Saugatuck.\u00a0 On arrival we boarded the boat that is laying in heated storage.\u00a0 The first order of business was to connect the 120VAC power to the boat and connect the batteries.\u00a0 We flipped the main power on the boat and it started to charge.\u00a0 After a while, I noticed that something looked amiss as the battery two group was reading 12.45 volts.\u00a0 This level should have been 14.1 VDC for the Acceptance Charge stage.\u00a0 After cleaning terminals all was well with the charger and we watched to make sure all was OK and we went for lunch at Oval Beach.\u00a0 The waves were large at 10-12 ft and the surf was up as was the NW wind.\u00a0 Jim enjoyed high seas and the crashing surf.<\/p>\n
After lunch we removed smoke alarm\/CO batteries, drained the bilge, removed the doger, cleaned the sea water intake screen and removed the binoculars and EPIRB (PLB)and took them with us.\u00a0 We departed the boat at 1600 hrs for the long, slow, icy trip back to Indiana.\u00a0 It was a 3.5 hr trip (usually 2.5 hrs) and we counted over 6 cars in the ditch over a distance of 60 miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
