Yeah, Amos... We thought about fire, too... Lifted the engine cover a couple time to see if the one workin' alternator was excessively hot but it seemed fine... Of course, the closer we got to the end of the sail from Hell P.B. was lighting one cigarette after another... That was 'nuff fire fir me and when we made it into the harbor where the sea were calm I stood on the port side rail to get some fresh air...

But no other fires... Shoot, not too much to burn as we had every breaker "off" in the panel except the one to the fuel solonoids for the engines...
