We had a cool night but by 0900 it was dead calm and getting hot. I went with Barry to West Marine and to buy ice. When we got back, I started our backup generator - a Honda one kilowatt gasoline powered generator - and connected it to Seascape’s AC electric system to see if it would power the battery charger and refrigerator. It worked great running the charger or the refrigerator, but not both. The Honda uses very little fuel so it is good alternative for the nine kilowatt Kohler, diesel generator if the only purpose is to charge the batteries.
Barry set up our laptop computer to work with a powerful WiFi antenna he had given us. This enabled us to connect to the internet from the boat if there is a signal nearby. I received a signal from 28 different sources although only a few were un-secured and strong enough.
I bathed in the river to conserve fresh water and used water from the ice chest to rinse off. I made chicken fried steak, broccoli, and corn for dinner.
