Getting my Arse kicked out here!

Tell the weather gods to cool their heels. Waves breaking into cockpit on a regular basis. At least we had enough solar today to recharge over 50%. That's enough to get through the night (on Monitor mechanical wind vane steering). I really need that alternator for cloudy days. The hydraulic autopilot is great, especially in light air, but sucks the juice at least an additional 15 amps per hr.
View from dome cam up the mast under the radar mount. Leak remains so I must manually turn on the already replaced bilge pump every hr. It's not all peaches and cream out here however it will be worth the effort!
With the engine alternator out Solar panels are the only other means of charging batteries and they are cranking over 77 amps into them now. Live your life to the fullest!
