18 Mar - Day #14. Up and going early again. John bounces off the bottom while in the middle of the channel. It was warm enough to leave the pilot house's dutch doors open; first time on the trip. Shad gill nets make us dodge and weave. The nets are 200-300' wide with big orange floats marking the ends. The new navigation equipment was getting low voltage. This was corrected by tightening a loose nut on the DC panel's amp meter. Dropped the hook in downtown Gerogetown, SC. 60nm today: 498 total. DBH
