Monday, 8 bells in the afternoon watch
Worked a bunch of stations on HF last night including England and Estonia, all before bedtime. Rig worked great though I'm sure it did a number on the batteries. We set up the gennie this morning at 8 and let it run for a few hours to make sure we had juice for the next few days.
We set sail at around noon for Fogland and got here around 3. Gorgeous weather, nice sail. Temperature is a little hot down here but there's a very nice breeze. Carol and Jim placed a call to friends of theirs that live nearby (with a dingy) and I gave Ted Merriman a buzz. We'll see who shows up for cocktails!
I'm going to check into the maritime services net this afternoon if I can reach them. The reefer does a number on the bands, and I need to keep it running because I had it open for a while cleaning up a hazmat incident.
