April 13, 2000 -- Freezers and Batteries

You know, I will say this for the freezer guys. When they work, they work fast! The freezer was refoamed today! Mike badgered me for a while about putting the anchor up. Finally, I relented and we raised it. The windlass is sweet! It worked quite well. There were no gears slipping and sweat pouring from nervousness as to whether this would be the time the windlass quit. Joe arrived with our second new battery for the 24 volt starting system. While he was down there, he checked the other batteries in the same compartment for water level. It appears that one of our furling batteries is potentially 'cooked'. We put water in. It appears to be working ok, but we will know for sure tomorrow
