Day 2 - Alligator Creek
I går, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
We had some success today. My headache is gone and the animals are happy. The radar is working. Turns out it wasn’t plugged in to the back of the display 🤷🏼‍♀️. The Starlink is working on AC Power although we still want it to run off USB-C. We think the issue is our USB-C port… even though it’s rated to 100 watt. Still not sure what going on with the depth finder. It doesn’t work at all when we fire it up. Then it will work for a bit. Then it just flashes. We had a nice visit with our amazing daughter who helped us troubleshoot the Starlink and James phone which once again can receive iMessages. Tonight we are anchored at the mouth of Alligator Creek. This is the creek we live on. Moki has his own private island 🏝️. It’s tiny but enough for him to be able to explore without having to be on a leash.Læs mere

RejsendeDid you paint your hulls orange-ish, or is that just the light? Great pics!

RejsendeYes we painted it. It’s tan. The sun definitely makes it look more orange in the photo.

RejsendeTry checking the wiring to the transducer. Make sure connection is tight at chartplotter, and any connectors inline are tight. I had some issues like that and found some bare wires where mice made a meal. 😡 Also one time just unplugging and putting some anti corrosion stuff in the plug helped.

Day 1 Cayo Costa
27. december, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌙 70 °F
So many problems!! The good - the weather is nice. No bugs. We have good shore access. Dogs are not allowed on the beach but are allowed on the trails which is perfect. We walked the Cemetery Trail. Eight grave sites each lined with Lightning Whelks. And should be nice stars tonight. Also stove fired right up. Always good with a Wallace. The bad - my day started with a headache that never quite went away. The animals lost their sea legs and both threw up. The depth finder isn’t displaying correctly. The Starlink won’t connect. Actually it connects and disconnects. The radar has a communication issue to the radôme and James phone won’t receive messages for some odd reason. Tomorrow we are going to meet our tech savvy daughter Sara and hopefully work thru at least a couple of these. In the interim we are on the water anchored in Pelican Bay and it should be calm tonight. Not at all bad.Læs mere

RejsendeHope you get all your electronics back up and working correctly, your critters regain their sealegs and your headache goes away! Both Rosanne and I are fighting killer colds, and we know some stuff is going around. I’m jealous you are on the water again, while C-Traveler sits hidden in her new storage shed. Enjoy your trip. Looking forward to following along here.
