Steven, Elliott & Linda checking out the grouper Steven caught. Too small to keep though.

The boatyard has a common area complete with showers, ice machine, cooking essentials and tv. We’ve been having supper in the hut with our new pals. Tonight Linda made chicken curry and I contributed the basmati rice. Yum! Beers for dessert.
Listening to different versions of House of the Rising Sun on Pandora. Frijid Pink is up.

I sleep with my iPhone and my flashlight on my pillow.

Living on the hook (anchored out) leaves only so many options for power. It certainly makes you more aware of the power you use and makes you pay attention/appreciate what items draw however many watts/ amps. On the hook, we mostly live off of our 12 volt batteries. The solar charger and the diesel charge them. We charge our phones during the day and run a small fan at night. Haven’t hooked up the window unit yet! Returned our toaster oven as it drew too much power to run on the hook. Cooking consists of propane and a small 800 watt electric hot plate. I keep a flashlight (a mini Mag LED…thanks Mom!) near me at night as this is my main light source. Rechargeable batteries inside, of course.
