Elise Boat Work Day

Today we did a couple of things

1. Aired out the boat, she needed this badly after the rainy season and a few very wet ocean races
2. Added a small solar panel to the back of the boat to keep the battery topped off constantly for every day use
3. Fixed the two quarterberth lee cloths (they had fallen)
4. Fixed a missing pin on the autopilot rudder fixture
5. Realized that the connector of the spare autopilot is corroded and needs to be changed

Nat playing with fire...there was a short-circuit (a spare connector ended up touching the wrong wire...) - no fire, just a lot of smoke and burned wires and melted plastic.
