trip on the gulf.

No pics to post yet, but just finished an awesome trip from Mobile bay to Port St. Josehp FL. what a trip. did an over night pasage there, and one on the way back.  It was great weather, lil warm, but thats part of it.  I am so stoked, want to go for another open water passage.  I took the 4-7 watch so I could see the sun rise, ;) I got to see the sunset as well being the skipper I was up at all hours checking things, Gosh I love this sailing on open water, We out ran a storm first passage then got caught by a reall small rain squall, only 25 knots wind, but was great fun plowing along in the dark. 
Cheers all

p.s. Posiden, lets me think I out ran his weather, I do know it was just the way weather was going that night.    But fun to think I out ran it.  your dont out run much in a sailboat, except another sail boat.   lol.

loosing sight of land always makes a trip more enjoyable, you, the ocean and blissful silence except the wind and sea (rain, thunder, lightening are optional extra's). Sounds like you had a great sail there

DOLPHN 40 AMP BATTERY CHARGER

Hello all.The Dolphin 40amp battery charger in my 2011 43 is charging well, EXCEPT the cooling fan is cycling on and off every 20 seconds or so. Volts and amps are correct  although there is red light top and centre flashing red, does not look happy.It seems as if the thermostat controlling the fan is not functioning correctly as the unit is not even warm.I cannot locate the Beneteau supplied manual, any clues as to the fault.Regards,Bilgolabands (Liberte)See More

"Hi Pete. Hope this finds you well. I sold the boat, due to a broken leg, that left  me handicapped.  I want to continue being on Seaknots, for pleasant reminders, and I thought of you. Be in touch, as I follow you in your adventures"
