Kerm here,
We're currently at Wardrick Wells in Exuma National Park on a mooring
ball. Been here before but do not tire of it. Lots to see both under the
water and on the island. Suggest looking at www.bnt.bs for details.
We're now sending blogs via satellite so have to keep word count low. The
winds continue to be in the 18 to 20 mph range so we're staying here until
things settle down. Our next stop is a new place for us and a bit of a
tricky place to get into and will have to time the tides right plus the
waves coming thru part of the gap are quite high right now 5 to 7'. No,
no, no.
We have been meeting a lot of nice cruisers. Some of the sailing folk are
a bit standoffish at first until they find out that we are also sailors.
Clannish bunch they are. It's funny how we see and talk to the same boats
as we go along even at far back as Clearwater. We may not see them for a
day or two and then we end up at the same anchorage again for a day or
two. It seems everybody travels at about the same rate and stops at the
same places.
All is going well with the boat. It ends up that our battery charger is
undersized by a factor of 3 or 4 times. Back when we were traveling all
the time and staying at marinas on a regular basis everything was fine.
Now not so fine so we have to run the boat engine daily to keep the
batteries up. I would have Dan send a new charger down but everything in
the a/c and d/c wiring would also have to be changed because of the higher
power. Even if a made a detailed bill of materials something would bound
to be missed. I don't know how I missed this. Fancy new generator for
charging batteries and then this. Oh, well, live and learn.
We're now settling into a routine on the boat and even I have slowed down
to the point of banging out a book every couple of days.
