We spent both days doing chores and listening to NPR. I finished stripping the varnish off the starboard pilothouse door with a small scraper that I sharpened frequently. We used the vacuum cleaner to suck up blind mosquitoes several times each day. Each time we did this there were fewer so they must all arrive at night.
We ran the generator for up to five hours each day to try to put a complete charge on the house batteries. I was hoping that they would charge quicker than that but the 40 amp charger just takes a long time to recharge six batteries that are drawn down each night by the inverter. We may have to stop using the freezer and just buy ice whenever we can. The refrigerator will keep everything else cool.
Tim got home Sunday afternoon. After his ship docked in New Jersey, he flew to Norfolk, VA and Annie picked him up at the airport. We rain to shore in the late afternoon to welcome him home and walk Sailor.
