9 Mar - Day #5. Still at Anchor off Hospital Point, we take advantage of the 70F weather to install the new Garmin HD radar and GPS. The wind is blowing like stink. Any part I lay on the deck seems to instantly take flight. Running the cables from the top of the pilot house down into the instrument console is painfully slow. We're rewarded for our patience as everything goes in well. In the afternoon we walk around Portsmouth and have lunch at the Navy's hospital. More installation work in the evening until we collapse of exhaustion. 0nm today; 134nm total. DBH
