At Sea

We’ve been at sea almost a week now and settled into a routine. Space is tight so things have to be organized and put way in the morning. Here’s my little cabin.


My constant companion is the voltage regulator that controls the wind turbine, solar power and batteries. As long as it is smiling, all is good. When it starts frowning, there’s a problem that needs rectifying before the batteries run so low that the engine won’t start. No Sea Tow here so that would be a REALLY bad problem. So far the little guy mostly smiles so all is ok.

We tend to eat breakfast on board at anchor, lunch at sea and dinner out. The crew gets a ration of beer at lunch but the captain (me) just gets to drink water or Coke until we’re anchored for the evening.
