Islamorada, Tavernier Key,
FL
We took off on our own today on a route that was too shallow for Windbird. We had winds around 12 and partly sunny skies, moderate temps. We saw as little as 5'2" but mostly 7-10 ft. depths.We did watch our depth gauge closely but it was not as tense as I thought it would be. We got to our anchorage for tonight at a little before 2 so took naps and later grilled our steaks.
We are right in front of a 4 star marina run by the town of Islamorada. Olympic size pool & all kinds of facilities. If we were staying more than over night would take a slip but we will be moving on in the morning. Expect to be at Long Key tomorrow night and perhaps hook back up with Handleys.
The alternator light kept coming on and off. We can not figure out why. It usually never comes on so it lighting up must mean something is amiss. Lee is hoping it just means that between the solar and wind power which is keeping the batteries fully charged that we do not need the alternator to do its thing and it is turning itself off. We will try to get a hold of the place we got the solar panels tomorrow and see if they have any ideas.If any one has an idea there is a place for comments
