Solar Panels are up


Reinhart spent Independence weekend putting in our new solar array above the bimini: three 130W Kyocera panels. We were getting pretty good output even on a cloudy morning so this should keep our batteries quite charged no matter how much anchoring and sailing we do. We also have a new 66 lb Bruce anchor on 200' of chain; our original anchor will become our secondary anchor now.

We are still planning on moving onto the boat on July 17. Hopefully we'll cast off those lines soon afterwards. If any of our plans change, we'll post them here.
