Solar Panels

General updates for the last couple days.

     Today I have 4 solar panels up on the sun cover making about 150 watts. I have a victron charge controller and the panels are flexible. I'm glad to have some solar working. It's not permanant becuase I don't have a permanant place to put them but we can do this in port.
     Today it's 86 in the boat and we're HOT! But mom got her cast off yesterday so she's feeling a lot better. They have it in a soft brace for the next couple weeks but things are looking up.
     We've met some wonderful new friends, on Sparrow and they are coming over for dinner tonight. He's cooking!
     A few days ago I went sailing with Mike and had a wonderful time. I'll post a picture soon.
     We also got our hose from ELEY hoses. And with that final addition we have an entirely new raw-water deck wash system. The other one was leaking something fierce because of a terrible installation. Multiple adapters going in different directions with different size hose and hobbled together. I'll show a before and after shot soon.

Iron pipes do not belong on boats

Much simpler! and NO MAGNETIC STUFF ON BOATS
