These last few days, not having fun.

i engaged nice guy Dave, master electrician, to fix my electricity. (The system is over-charging, 16.5 v, shouldnt be more than ~14. I'm told that'll fry everything if left uncorrected. Reminds me of electric on my 1st sailboat. I had a solar panel supplying the batt, no regulator. On typical sunny days, it was putting out so many volts that the music-cassette (rem those?) player ran FAST. I found i could control the playback speed by draping a towel part-way over the panel.)

He's nice, intense, very hardworking when he's here, but he comes only an hour or 2 a day, promises to return in the morning, then doesnt show up. Today he didnt answer my very polite texts or phone msgs. He has a ~business manager, Deb, who works elsewhere, but all i have is her business #, and it's saturday.

So i'm left here in Paradise (AKA HELL), with nothing to do except hope Dave shows. And he doesnt.

I can't even just leave. I owe him $. So i pay 24$C to the marina each day when i'd rather be Boating North.

i did spend the lovely day wandering thru a crafts fair in the park, plus i mounted my outboard gas tank on a stern step to get it out of the way, and ran wires to a new ~cigarette lighter outlet forward, to more conveniently charge devices.

I'm adjacent to a commercial float-plane dock, they fly in-out constantly, which is cool! Just like an airport.
