The final word on Genny

I have to say Gennifer has redeemed herself admirably. She went into the whole "dragging her head through the water" thing kicking and screaming, but once we got her settled down she has done the job well. We have two lines that restrain her movement and it took some time to get the lengths adjusted just so. The propeller cavitates a little when it tops out in the larger swell like Genny coming up for air, but the prop powers through and she's been plugging along error free for the last day and a half. Hooray for Duogen, a UK company. The output oscillates between 2 and 3 amperes, which isn't huge, but it contributes about 10% of our battery capacity in a 24 hour period. Does it slow the boat? Maybe a little; not noticeably.
