Up at 6 am with planned underway at 7. Well, security showed up at 7 am to get our card for opening gates. And we were underway by about 7:10. We sailed for a couple of hours and listened to a sermon, then the wind died down and we started the motor. Of course, just as we were arriving at Ipala the wind was back up to about 28 knots! We had to bring in the main so into the wind. We are out of practice.
Then we anchored in Ipala. We looked at the charts, but not closely enough, and OOOPS! We found the rocks in this harbor, we bounced a couple of times, and then got off the rocks and went back to where we anchored the last time we were here. Downside, it is in a bit deeper than I would like, upside, no rocks. We are finding the things that we are out of practice with, and it will get better.
We really need to consider new iPhones, I used mine today to control the radio and play the sermon. So, when we got to the end of the day (about 3pm) the battery is dead, and that is where we run the anchor monitor program, so it is plugged in. This phone is a little over 2 years old, and maximum battery capacity is down to 91% which means it is not low enough to get the battery replaced by Apple, when we were in the states, I asked about it and not only will they not replace it under warranty, the authorized repair places won’t replace the battery at this level. I was told it would be better with the next upgrade of software, yeah, not so much. The reviews on the iPhone 13, the new and current phone says much better battery life.
