Nice to see you getting out so often even with crappy weather.

Happy that most of the worst weather this season has not fallen on the weekends. There have been a couple of times I almost cancelled due to low viz--fortunately those outings turned out okay. Having wind to sail back from the Isthmus Cove on Sunday was a pleasant surprise!

I like that you get out even if there is no wind. True sailor. That's one deep anchorage. How long will that 27 gallons last you? That pizza looks fantastic. Jalapenos are the best on pizza. Nice 7 knots. If you don't go out you will never have the opportunity to hoist the sails. Another great sail.

Thanks. I burn about .65gal/hour at cruising RPM. 42 hours motoring for that 27.8 gal. Total talkback is 90+ gal. About 5 days of continuous motoring with some reserve left.

You anchored about 100 yards off our stern we hooked up at O-10. That Scripps buoy surprised us as well.

Breaker will trip easier when the voltage is low on the battery, or corrosion in the wiring path. Lower voltages draw more amps for same power/effort on the windlass.

We replaced cable leads and installed a new control box with the new windlass. It's all 2/0 gauge. The new LifePO4 battery has been pretty reliably resting above 12.8V even after I've pulled 100Ah out of the 600Ah bank. Each of the 2X LifePO4 batteries (in parallel) have 200A BMS. I suspect the issue is an underrated or failing breaker. The current is not labelled with a rating, so I intend to replace it with a new one. I will also recheck all of the connections. Of course, I'm putting more stress on the windlass when I'm anchored in 100 feet of water. You bring up a good point. Next time I have crew I watch the battery monitor while the windlass is in operation and see if there is significant voltage drop.

Omnia Oven. They are overpriced for what they are but they use far less propane vs. the regular oven.
