04 March 2012 | Swantown Marina, Olympia WA
Clear sunny, 2000 feet above us, wet and overcast down here.
Just an update to say nothing is happening on the boat for upgrades.
Winter is here, getting about 2 gallons a day from the dehumidifiers. But it is warm and dry inside.
We have had some wild wind days and lots of rain. Some of it being very heavy.
Solar panels work excellent. Right now the sun is showing only a small amount of sparkle/light thru the overcast and I am getting about 2 amps constant from them. Wind Generator is an interesting item. It only gets good amps flowing at the higher wind speeds. I am thinking that down south I may need to get the 5 blade modification so I can take advantage of the winds in the 10 - 20knot range. The other day there were gusts in excess of 40 knots. THe wind gen hit 110amps for a moment. As it gets up in amps, it has an internal brake that slows it down so it doesn't get messed up from overspeed.
I really need to sell the house so I can get this boat finished good enough to go. It will never be completely finished as that is the life on a boat.
