On Monday, March 24, the crescent moon was still shining brightly despite the cloud cover as dawn started.
Dawn was spectacular
This morning, Eric called ARCO again and managed to get through to a customer service person. This time, the customer service person did send the schematics over to Eric and told Eric to check the regulator setting to make sure that it was set to Viktron. Eric spent the day mulling over whether it was wise to turn the Zeus box back on.

The day that we’d arrived in Elizabeth Harbour, we’d mentioned that there were several Nordhavns in the anchorage. Since then, several more had arrived. With so many Nordhavns in one place, one of the owners, John from Dragon, convinced Nordhavn to do a PR/marketing video of all the boats moving together in formation. The bribe for owners to participate in this video was that Nordhavn would host a happy hour afterwards. We eagerly agreed to participate.
The day before, John had taken shots of all the Nordhavns at anchor. Here was Kosmos.
This week has been really fun. On Saturday we went to the town here, George Town. We ate lunch and picked up some cheese from the store. The ride to George Town was super wavy, and we got totally soaked.
Cette semaine était amusante. Samedi on a visité le village d’à côté, George Town. On a mangé le déjeuner et acheté du fromage. Le voyage à George Town avait beaucoup de vagues, et nous étions trempés.

We’d had a Gig Harbor hard shell sailing/rowing dinghy with a Torqueedo 503 electric motor with 1.5 horsepower. We also had 50-watt solar panels to charge the motor when we had it out, which were made by Torqueedo. We were very happy with those solar panels.

After we’d finished our morning chores/school, we went to Sand Dollar Beach for a birthday party. The birthday boy was turning nine. We’d never met him, but they’d announced on the morning radio net that everyone was invited. We figured that this would be a great opportunity to meet some other families.
Sand Dollar beach started on the Elizabeth Harbour side of the Kahari Resort (the resort we’d seen yesterday at the end of the little inlet). Here is a shot of the resort
