Stuck inside of Vuda with those island blues again.

 Tuesday night.  Final prep for travel.  All tanks full, lines run, sail cover off.  Maybe I should check the windlass.

Crap.

The connection to run the windlass (anchor up/down) is flaky.  Not what I need single-handing.  

Wednesday am.  Tell marina I'm here another day to sort this out.  Brian comes over and we troubleshoot how to cut the power to the windlass so I can replace the connection.  It's a standard extension cord end, nothing fancy - put I think it best to do the replacement without the power on.

Eventually we figure it out.  Of course it was a simple breaker.  Fixed by 1 pm.  

Inform marina that I'll be leaving tomorrow.  Pay another day's mooring charges.  Boating life...
