We woke up with the batteries reading 14V – nice – and spent
several hours in the morning cleaning the boat.
Ron did the hard part – the outside and Teresa did the easy work – the
inside. Unfortunately, the 12V vacuum
cleaner, sucked up a lot of juice, despite being plugged in to shorepower, and
we ended up with 12.8V L. We then went for a bike ride along some very
nice roads running along the shore hoping that the batteries would regain some
charge, which they did. We set off for
Nichols Point, 44° 44.85N 73° 19.30W, in very light winds, but
persevered with sailing, despite being becalmed for 15 minutes, and sailed all
the way. Of course it helped that our
destination was only 3.5 nm away! We
dropped the hook in company with several other boats, and Ron went
fishing. He got a good bite, but the
fish jumped out of the water and got away.
It was about 3’ long! We both
went for a swim in beautiful calm and flat water. 15 minutes after our swim it was blowing 20
knots, raining, and didn’t look at all like swimming conditions.
