After spending almost 3 weeks, making new friends in waterfall Bay. It is time to sail south Loganville. While in waterfall Bay my alternator stopped working and I was using this only solar panels as my source of electricity. It meant sending little e-mail, no refrigeration, and during this 140 mile passage I will not be able to use the autopilot with its high electrical consumption.
I left waterfall Bay just before dusk and began sailing by hand steering most of the night with light winds under clear starry skies and a slight swell. Later that night I was able to use the windvane for steering but in such light winds it was only able to steer at the very best a course plus or -40° and sometimes it could not handle it at all. So in light winds my windvane was little better than hand steering. This did not allow me to get much sleep during the over 2 day sail to Loganville. At the end, the wind totally died and I motored the last four hours to anchor off the beach at beachfront resort and catch up on my much-needed sleep.
