Stopped briefly enroute to check out some islands as a potential stop on the way back. Should work and has a nice rock overlook if I can find a way to tie to shore. Most islands are unnamed but this is one of the Horse Islands.

1400-Listening to more music and sipping some white wine and munching on some peanuts. I pulled out the white wine box and got it ready to fill mini bottles I bring along to put in the fridge to cool. Cloudy 73F/77F.
1500-Time to fire up the grill to make dinner.
1545-Had a grilled burger with chips and a frozen mug of beer. Thawing strawberries to put on my ice cream dessert.
1645-Took the cover off the autopilot to see if I could find a short. A couple of wires were pinched. I was going to cover them with tape but could not find the electrical tape I thought was aboard! I blew a couple more fuses. It appears the retraction causes the failure. Could not fix it here. Need to tear down further, examine solder joints, and examine the installation manual when I get home.
Had ice cream with strawberries for dessert. Always a great treat!
I will listen to my audio book in the cockpit if flies and mosquitoes don't eat me alive!
1750-Enjoying some Baileys with my new round ice cubes. Still calm with high clouds. 76F/77F.
Interesting fact, I've observed no boats while underway since I launched (37 miles). The exception is the one small boat that checked me out while at anchor yesterday.
Solar watts today: 2.09 Kwh used, 3.14 Kwh generated, 234w charged, 160w discharged.
1930-Sat on the aft deck listening to my new audio book "The Bone Orchard" by Paul Doiron. I'm very tired and thinking of bed already. 75F/75F. Some sun but mostly cloudy and calm. Birds chirping, some mergansers swimming along shore.
