Travelling s/v Afrita:
10/3/2010
We are still in Sausalito and can't say that we're doing all that well There is NO work and we are in the anchorage The motion of the anchorage gets to be really challenging It's a busy little place, and that's fun.
Otherwise, plan to winter here, and are hoping work will finally happen We have plans for our tax refund in January, and hope to get some work and replacement parts for the engine, as well as new batteries, including a new bank.
Generator is doing it's job and the systems certainly work Power is EVERYTHING
