Sitrep no 2

Ships's battery went flat yesterday afternoon and after much testing and trials we've concluded the alternator has failed. So we're sailing without instruments and no lights at night save for a torch over the stern - hopefully noone of the other yachts figured who was sailing in stealth mode... We have one good battery for engine starting and thats all (plus brief turn-on of PC to look at the weather routing). So there won't be many sitreps!
We should exit the Chesapeake by this afternoon and be out into blue ocean, which will be a bonus.
All the best for now.
