The days are blending together. Same routine. But one issue was when to head further south. Normally the weak trade winds at thins time of year are not an issue but some of the forecast say otherwise. We are debating this issue, not really a hard effort, to decide when to take a further southern tack. Too soon means we will need to motor into the winds for many hours if we change course too soon.
The bigger issue, though not huge is that the generator stopped running twice. Most likely due to low fuel levels in the tank, especially when we are heeled and taking the fuel away from the pickup tube. Simple answer is to run the engine to charge the batteries The engine fuel circuit has a tank that eliminated the air from being heeled over to prevent the charging from stopping.
So on we go with really no issues.
