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...
