2011: January - May - Boot Key Harbor, Marathon, FL

 My first ever attempt at blogging - please bear with me.

Solar panels & Wind Generator

Our plans to spend winter in the islands came to a screaming halt when our friend and renter passed away. We spent weeks cleaning out the trailer then a difficult decision to sell it. We sold it in one day - the price was right. While waiting to tie up a few loose ends Wayne thought it a good time to pursue a few projects on his wish list which included: 4 new solar panels; wind generator; high-powered WIFI antennae; get the two-year old Multiplexer to operate correctly; purchase and install new paper charts and digital charts on a laptop dedicated just for navigation;  Sounds simple doesn't it? ..NOT.  Research alone takes weeks.  Installing the required wiring  is a nightmare. Results are above.

However, we did have a great time while here. Met many great people and made new friendships, attended lots of parties and happy hours, beach time, Domino games, fishing and just plain veggin out!
