Note the ice in the foreground.... |
I went to Rock Hall to check in on Seas The Day this morning. We have had fairly cold weather the past few days and Swan Creek was iced over as I walked out on the dock. As I got closer, I could hear the hum of the deicers working as they moved the water amongst the boats. A bit of ice was forming at the waterline on Seas The Day from the splashes.
Going aboard (this always requires a tad bit of courage... it's a bigger step than normal), the water in the bilge was still pink, but the electrical panel was dead. Fortunately, I remembered the learnings from the last time this happened, and could get her restarted. (It turned out the breaker in the stern starboard locker had tripped. I wonder if the deicers are dropping the dock voltage? Because we kept the battery switch at "2" while at the dock, I could switch to battery "1" and restart the panel.)
