Con’d update:
The wind has dropped even more and we are making about 1 knot.
I could use some charging to the batts so we’ll motor for a little while. These days of light winds haven’t gotten much power from the water turbine.
This morning it’s hazy, cloudy and there is some lightning. I will put all the portable electronics in my faraday cage, aka “oven” if it gets closer.
On that note don’t worry if you lose the sat signal. If we get more lightning I’ll put the Inreach in the oven too. No idea how long this will last, but there is supposed to be stronger winds later today, so probably not long.
Motoring now. We were way down on batt power.
