Great minds think alike. Wayne is topping off the fresh water tanks.

Up at 8 again. Finally feeling a bit better. I slept better than I have in many days.

My best guess is the forward head vent is blocked because it's backfilling more aggressively now and when I cracked the pump out port it released some pressure.

Days on a boat are filled with the practical concerns of life

There's a head smell in the forward stateroom that I will have to track down.

We dropped Wayne's car off at Bert Jabins and then did a quick provisioning run.

I suspect the genser issue is likely to be the impellor.

There's an impressive rainbow visible now

Genser cut out again. Temperature was steadily rising. I'm guessing maybe heat exchange needs to be serviced?

Coincident with a wake the genser cut out. With glow plugs it started again.

Boat is in the water. We have it mostly cleaned up. It's crazy hot outside. Storms approaching.

Connecting to shore power caused an AC LO error on the Air conditioning unit. This error is apparently due to low incoming AC voltage. We figured out that we can run the inverter while on shore power to stabilize the incoming voltage. It doesn't charge the batteries but should allow us to keep the AC on.
