Weather: Wind light, good visibility, cloudy with a few breaks, and pretty calm sea.
Maintenance:
- Boat. Guy came out in the morning on Second Nature to bring me to campus. We looked over Neighbour and found a 20 amp fuse in the outboard that was burnt out. Replaced it and the engine started and ran well. I ran some errands and came back in the afternoon. Took Neighbour, was running great, but the engine died near the Navy docks, engine alarm sounding. Guy came out in Second Nature and towed me back to campus. I took the zodiac out and made it to the island, Guy provided escort. Big thanks to Guy for the support!
- Reading through the new off-grid energy system operating manuals, trying to trouble shoot. It looks like we are running on only one of two inverters so have a reduced charge capacity when running the generator.
Vessels:
- 1 ecotour boat before dusk that got well within 100 meters of sealions.
