No dinghy or Daphne in sight, so I guess you were there or on shore. We raced over to hurricane harbor because we were thinking about going to Bimini tonight. Now it looks more like tomorrow. How is the live aboard life? Hey we saw your boat today and tried you on the VHF. No dinghy or Daphne in sight, so I guess you were there or on shore.

Editing is done with iMovie on a Mac, and I upload to Youtube. I do have a vacuum, a small Shop Vac. I have to run the engine to invert that much power, but no big deal. I'd love to know why the zincs disappeared so fast. It has been 7 months. Vid Cam is a cheap Canon, nothing special. Editing is done with iMovie on a Mac, and I upload to Youtube.

Seriously though, since you mostly anchor out (eliminating stay current corrosion at a marina), what is causing so much galvanic activity down there? I'm curious if it an issue with the ship's ground / bonding system / radio ground / etc? David Ben,
