Our Shadow loves going in the dingy!
After being at anchor for two nights, our battery monitor showed that we were at 80% state of charge with 13.1 volts. This with two AGM 110ah batteries in parallel. Starting the motor, the alternator kicked in and was throwing 60+ amps back into the batteries.
Once we got the hook up and were underway @2,500 RPM, the alternator was putting 96 amps into the house. I would say that our battery and charging system is working well. The batteries were fully charged by the time we got to Deseronto 2 hours (12 miles) away.

Oh no, looks like The Beckoning is not going to fit under the bridge!
When we turned the corner at Forester Island, winds were 8-12 knots pretty much on the nose.
We put the main up and motor sailed until we got the the bottom of Long Reach.

| Yellow is where we started sailing |

| Beam reach sail past the Glenora Ferry |
Set the autopilot to sail to a wind angle of 160 degrees apparent to prevent an accidental gybe.

Catching a mooring ball is just so easy and the cost was $30 for the night.
We got lots of use out of our inflatable paddle boards!
After dinner, we went to Jim and Shelly's place for a drink.
Was nice hooking up with them.
