Liking the additonal Solar
20 03, 17
The extra panels are working pretty nice. I don't think we are completely self sufficient, but a whole lot closer to being there. These new panels should pay off in just a few months with savings on Diesel.
Next project is a bridle for the anchor. I'm currently using a "snubber" but a "bridle" will be better than a snubber. Tuesday is shopping day and I'll see about getting the parts I need for a bridle when I'm at IWW in Marigot on Tuesday. If they don't have the parts then I'll run down to Cole Bay and pick up the parts there. Once that is made up, I finish provisioning this week and then wait for a weather window to head down island. Looking forward to the change. I'm getting fat here in the French islands (the food is soooooo goooood).
