Day 423 All fixed and we're off again!

We called Whites Marine and the alternator was fixed so off we went to pick it up.  He found a small screw inside the alternator when he took it off and that is what caused the short that trashed the unit.  A little itty bitty screw and poof, up goes $200.00 bucks.  Rich(owns White's Marine) gave us some information of how to keep it running and not over tax it by making it produce too many amps when it just can't physically do so.  Just run the Honda Generator for a while before you leave and all should be well.  That will take a lot out of the demand on the alternator.  We got back to Zephyr and I reinstalled her just fine and tightened the belts as instructed(real tight).  I'll be checking them again over the next few days to make sure they stay tight to get the most out of the alternator.

Well, were off again for Foggy Bay, our last stop before we are back in Canada.  The weather is supposed to be pretty bad for crossing Dixon Entrance so we may have to sit there for a few days and wait it out till better weather shows up.  You don't want to cross there in bad weather.  It can trash you real fast from what I have heard.

Our next post will be from Prince Rupert if a day or three.

As always, more to come!!
