Lost the electrics over Oakland.
Daylight with Viz 10, so not too concerned. Squawked 7600, flash ldng light, wiggle wings, watch the pattern, land.
Later found out the alternator took a dump, and the battery wasn't up to lasting very long (even with a reduced load).
All seemed to happen too quickly, as the preflight showed a pos charge etc.
Exciting for me, but, alas, it was the Girlies first time in a bug smasher. Subsequent journeys have all been boringly straightforward
