We did a lot of that yesterday. Particularly if we hadn’t moved for a few minutes and then did so. Despite the pain in our muscles and joints we both agreed the cause, the previous day’s hike, was worth it.
Once moving the pain would go away so we did manage to get a couple of chores knocked off the list. Helen waxed the dodger (which protects it from UV) and I WD40d every hinge and catch on the boat. Very tedious but only need be done once a year. It prevents any hinge from seizing and subsequently snapping when used.
Not much else to say about the rest of the day. The weather was far less clear than the previous day. On the day of our hike we set a record on the solar panels – 290Ah made in one day.
Today we may move the boat. One incentive is to get hot water. We’re too stingy to run the generator just for hot water. We’ve no need to charge the batteries because wind/solar is keeping us up and we don’t have enough washing yet to do a wash. The winds, while forecast to be strong, are shifting to easterlies. We should be reasonably sheltered by the island if we move south. There’s a number of possible destinations. We’ll need to discuss our options.
