We Had a Good Day

Not much to report today... everything is looking good except the Voltage gauge is squirrely. After acting up yesterday it was looking good this morning but then it moved from 12v to 13.1v. A little later it moved up to 14v but it was jumping around a lot. Sometimes it would peg-out at 16v but when I tapped the gauge it would drop back to 14 and act jumpy again. I'm kinda suspecting the gauge is screwed rather than the alternator or voltage regulator, but then again I guess a voltage regulator that's about to go out might cause the gauge to act this way.

By the way, we covered 60 miles today.  The current gets strong in the narrows, we struggle to do 6.0 mph sometimes.

Here are our goals:
Sunday) Ditto Landing (333.7) to Goose Pond Marina (378) is 45 miles with one lock.
Monday) Goose Pond Marina (378) to Hales Bar Marina (431.2) is 53 miles with one lock.
Tuesday)  Hales Bar Marina (431.2) to Gold Point (472) is 41 miles with one lock.
