Day 11
Made some good progress today, and also eat loads. Overall a good day.
Yesterday was not quite as good unfortunately. Power coming in from the solar panels to charge my batteries has halved. I have gone through everything I can, even connecting the panels directly to the batteries to cut out the regulator but still no joy. To top it off my multi meter tool that I use for diagnosing electrical problems has stopped working too. It's not a major problem now but may very well be later on in the trip. I may have to manually make water to save power. I'll see how things go.
Everything else is cool though.

Oh dear! Hope you can solve your power problems soon. Chris had power problems as well and from talking to him it seems it could be any number of things that are not working or just salt water has got into a connection. Work out your frustrations on the oars and a bright idea might come to you that you can try on your next break.
Hope you manage to get some more miles covered while the wind is favourable.
Keep rowing and keep safe!

Good work Captain K. Pesky electronics! I'll send you a text with a few thoughts. Eating loads overcomes lots of problems.
Good work pal
Chris
