Log of s/v Bellerophon

The weather outlook looks excellent - chance of thunderstorms on Sunday, but when isn't there? We were headed to Dutch Harbor this weekend but for some reason they never answer their phone or return calls, so we're going to Conanicut instead.

Replaced the Den Haan trawler lamp with a new one. The old one has been dripping oil and I've been unable to discover from where. It only does it when the lamp is swinging a bit, so if the new one doesnt do it, we'll take the old one home and use it in an environment that doesnt move quite as much. You'd think that a lamp designed for boats would be able to take a bit of motion without leaking. The weems & plath lights do just fine.

The new alternator belt seems to be working OK. I found an alternator belt tensioner from someplace in the midwest that seemed to do the trick nicely. Let's hope this weekend proves me right!
