Finally Wind Generator

Getting Wind Generator fixed

We got the call Monday morning that the generator was in and they would be over at 2pm to due the install.  We had been on a mooring (fancy anchor) for the last week, so we moved over to the St Augustine City docks. They have a special where you can be on the dock for $5/hr, four hour minimum.  While we where on the dock, we washed the boat and cockpit down since it was going to be a while before we had good water.  Filled up the water tanks also.  Guy shows up and we begin de-installing the solar panels and pulling down the old wind generator.  Four bolts, and the cutting of the wires it was done.  Put new connectors on the new generator and re-install everything.  Look at that it works.  They will send the old unit back to the factory and have it tested to see what failed.  One boater said it was probably a bearing.  Who knows.

Back to the mooring and prepare to head south Tuesday morning Nov 20....
