Lexington - 4/4/17. Always a hassle



Boats are always a hassle. They are much more complicated than your house. We have fancy batteries called AGM which is a sealed battery with a mat instead of a plate. We had an air conditioner installed in the aft berth to help cool the batteries so they charge better. The air conditioner does not seem to help enough so I took off a panel that opened the berth into the batteries and that has helped. We are trying to equalize the batteries which helps them last longer and perform better. The equalizing is going very slow. I have been at this for about 10 hours. Most of the time you would equalize at a dock with shorepower but we will not be at a dock for several weeks. Now just think about me when you flip the light switch in the morning. Only fools sail. A jet is the best way to cross an ocean! Bob
