Having our farewell dinner tonight with Kay, Judy and Tom at the Severn Inn, but the actual departure will likely be Sunday thanks to the possibility of "GALE WARNINGS" in the Bay tomorrow and Saturday. Susan spent most of yesterday afternoon with our excellent electrician and instructor Bob, fresh from the Annapolis Boat Show, as our Galvanic Isolators needed to be replaced. Since neither Susan nor I (can't speak for JP) had even HEARD of Galvanic Isolators (and were uncertain as to whether Raconteur even had them), it was indeed a useful experience. The symptom (zincs replaced three weeks ago, 35% gone) is probably caused by the non-functioning GA's (don't ask why that acronym) and so we are hoping to at least see a slowdown in the erosion. Tomorrow we are having another electrician replace part of our shore power, as something else (we think) caused the boat end of the cable to be sufficiently hot to have burn marks.
See, told you this would be boring.
Promise farewell photos and setting off photos on Sunday...of course, promising things in sailing is a bit of a challenge to the sailing gods...
However, for unedited pictures of my trip to Portugal with Jackie, Joan and Cindy, go to
