We struggled to get out of bed at 08:30. I spent some more time on the engine room fan, without success, and the Admiral did another load of laundry. I went back to West Marine to buy a new switch for the engine room fan (I confirmed that the old fan still works fine, even though I bought a new one on Friday, but damaged the old switch during the process of removing it for examination); the problem is not in the switch, so now I have a bigger problem in trying to source the root cause of the issue. I got the boat put back together by 11:30, topped up the water tank, and we were off just after 12:00. It was flat calm, so we motored all the way to Point Roberts. On the way, we heard from Dan that he probably has Covid-19 as well; not feeling too good, so we are wondering if we should carry on or position ourselves to head back to Houston to help out with the kids. We were tied up at Point Roberts Marina, which is 75% empty (presumably because of Covid-19), at 17:03. An early night, although it was a beautiful sunset.
