For the past two days we have been working on projects as well as relaxing by reading and taking walks. Today we took measurements of the arch and solar panels as part of a project to increase our solar power. We have been rationing our power usage all winter. This week in the marina—with occasional use of the shore power—is the first time we have felt free to leave the Starlink on through the day, as well as use the microwave and Instant Pot. The addition of more solar power might help but it is a challenge to find a way to make it fit. Right now we are just looking at all the options.
The beach at the Grand Isle Resort was one of our walking destinations.
View from under one of the solar panels. The diagonal line on the right is part of the split backstay. It presents one of the challenges in moving the solar panels and/or fitting an additional solar panel.
Another view from under the solar panels. We have thought of turning the panels 90° but they would then hang off the back an additional 14”. That presents a problem fitting into our slip at home.
