Good Friends
Good Friends and Good Food
Today we had friends up from Myrtle Beach to hang with us for the day and we
ate fruit, chips, pasta salad, tea and lemonade. First thing in the morning
our fan shorted out with a puff of smoke. Then after we purchased a new one
it went up in smoke too... so I checked the voltage. We had 118v from hot
to ground but between the hots we had nothing to speak of. Something was
out of phase. I thought that if one leg was not connected of the twin 30
amp circuits that no electricity was flowing but aparently we only had one
leg. That means that everything AC oriented was pulling too many amps at
low voltage and popping. So after plugging in both plugs everything was
fine. UGH...
Today we had friends up from Myrtle Beach to hang with us for the day and we

and I decided to work on the standing rigging and tune it up a little bit.
We had a couple lines that were rather loose and so we tightened everything
up till it was consistent. When we went sailing a few days ago the lewward
shrouds were pretty floppy so we first equalized the shrouds, then we added
2 turns to each one. We will see how it looks when we sail next time.
This evening we checked in on the Tennessee phone net. Propogation was
fantastic. Then I went around looking for blown wall warts. Thank heavens
our battery charger was ok.
