Motor sailing just east of do south in ENE fluky winds. Made a couple adjustments on the jury rigged bob stay. The aft battery bank got pulled down to much so that attempting to charge them only tripped the charger breaker. So I swapped those out with some fresh spares. Because in the past when I ran the generator and the main engine at the same time the filter boss alarm would go off, and I’d have to change the racor filter. My experience is once that starts, it constantly after that. To avoid that we shut the main down every few hours to run the generator and get the freezer back down. We usually let the freezer get up to about 10 degrees then pull it back down to minus 10.
Crew is a little tired, captain is too! Today was about trying to catch up on some sleep. Looking at the winds ahead, I’m thankful that we pursued a more easterly course early. I looks to me the boats west of us are going to be pointing up, and with our damage pointing up is not a good idea for us!
