The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.

[status] Engine Start Battery dead. If it wasn't illegal I would throw it overboard to save weight. Burial at sea. Easy fix, just turn a switch to the house bank. Just can't run them down low or else no engine start. Seas getting bigger coming from the stern quater, really making for a rock and roll ride, but I'm not complaining, just enjoying being at sea. Now if it gets any worst . . .
