    Also harpoon guns not working, Moby Dick will be pleased.

    In it's present position the solar panels are only getting 1.5 hrs of sunlight each 12 hrs rotations instead of 6, if it could of stayed in it's first location.

    But the Germans had already put their beach towels down, so had to move.
