Can’t catch a break…

Our attempt to cross to the The Berry Islands was aborted about 7 miles out. The starboard generator shut down unexpectedly and then wouldn’t restart, though it tried several times. Can’t troubleshoot that in the dark with the seas bouncing you around, so we turned around and returned to the anchorage we’d been at the past few nights. Good thing we had a track line to follow, the channel markers were all it, and we have a good spotlight! Re-anchoring was the easy part, very calm in here and no other boats.

We had a few hours of sleep and breakfast, now Dave & Dad are troubleshooting the generator. If necessary, we can connect both motors to the port generator and run that way. The final result will determine where we go next, if we don’t just stay put for a while. Fingers crossed! I will keep you posted.

The picture collage is from our anchorage. Scenic, n’est ce pas?

Stay healthy and take care of each other!
