For the first time we’re on a mooring ball for an extend period of time. We’ve had to learn how to manage our energy and water demands. It’s amazing on how much we waste when on land.
Mitzi has taken to the life away from land very well, but she does look forward to her trips to land. She has learned how to climb in and out of the dinghy if it is close enough, and will stand at the front of the dinghy to lookout for any sea monsters or whatever is lurking out there, maybe a manatee…
Baby steps have been taken to install solar on Mischief. So far we have 200 W of solar panels that is allowing us to run the refrigerator a few hours each day. Yay! We still need to make the installation more permanent, add some fuses and more panels. But the proof of concept is working.
About a week ago there was a bloom of mold in the aft cabin. John and I both started coughing horribly. It was against the hull of the boat where condensation had occurred and there was very little air flow. That meant empty the cabin out wiping down, washing every surface, spraying anti mold stuff, lots of laundry, etc. I think it is finally gone or really just under control waiting for the next opportunity to plaque us again.
