A cold front has come through, so it's been really cold the last couple days here. That means it's time to move more south!
Gary and I spent most of the day fixing up and replacing the wiring to and from the alternator (and regulator). It hasn't been working since half-way through our last passage and we haven't determined the problem yet. We have a work-around to charge our batteries using the generator, but we'd like to have the alternator working too.
Jan and Minnie took care of the provisioning.
We went out for a 'last night' sunset dinner here at a restaurant off of North Beach.
The drinks were huge. They were like monster fish bowls raised on a pedestal. I had a Pina Colada after my Margarhita.
I ordered the catch of the day, which was grouper. I wasn't expecting TWO fish to be on my plate! I finished it all though, like a trooper.
It is about 850 nautical miles to Panama, so this will officially be my longest offshore passage. It should take roughly 7 days if wind is decent for us. I am really looking forward to seeing Panama and all the exotic animals there (especially monkeys and sloths).
