A Day of Rest

Porter Bay
44 13.75 N 073 18.99 W

After doing so much, we both needed a bit of rest. Poor Libby straineda tendon in her leg while helping Jenny. Today was that day.

We made a serious error in shutting down the refrigerator during the trip. The refrigerant leaked out when it was warm. I put in two cans of R134-A today but it didn't help. We'll have to go without until we find a guy to recharge the system.

Today we also commissioned our new anchor. It is a 70 pound Luke storm anchor. I bought it used. Its role is to across us to anchor in shallow bays on Champlain where the weeds have grown so thick that a conventional anchor can't penetrate to the bottom. When we're not using it, it comes apart in three pieces for stowage.

  1. That ought to keep Abby and Tarwathie secure the next time you leave them to the elements. Hope you get to Raleigh sometime and have time for a chat, dinner, a dark 'n stormy or whatever.
