#22: Have Silks, Will Travel … to the Nearest Tree!

#22: Have Silks, Will Travel … to the Nearest Tree!

November 6, 2015anniedike

While I prefer to rig the silks on the boat, the conditions don’t always allow it.  Good news is, though, all you need is a backpack and a tree!  Let’s go!

Thanks to my Patrons who help me share the journey.  Get inspired.  Get on board.

I care none if this makes me appear the quintessential sun nerd. It just warms my heart (get it ; ) to be able to operate the electronics on our boat from a source that is not only eco-friendly for our poor ailing earth, but that is also super affordable and … (drumroll) easy enough that Annie can install it! Win. Win. Feel free to dig in, to a detailed recount of our new solar install. We replaced the hurricane-damaged panels and added a new (rather large) 170W panel on the dodger to upgrade our previous 200W configuration to a new 380W system with the critical help of Lyall and his team @sunpoweredyachts . Woot! Woot! Tech talk about the install went up today at www.havewindwilltravel.com. Enjoy! 😁 ⛵️ 🌞
NEW RUDDER! 🙌💪⛵️ #havewindwilltravel #hurricanesally #boatprojects #repair
Finally finished the install of our new solar panels! ☀️ Can anyone guess how many watts we put on? 🤔😊This was a pretty fun project. We had to get a couple of adapters to wire the two 50-watts in parallel, create some wiring extensions here and there, and unfortunately make one extra hole in the deck. 🙁 I hate doing that but sometimes it’s necessary. For power, I will call it necessary. What do y’all think? Many thanks again to @sunpoweredyachts for all the help installing their (what Lyall, with Sunpowered, and I have dubbed) “super sexy” panels! 🙌 💪 🛠 ⛵️ ☀️ #havewindwilltravel #solarpanels #sunpoweredyachts
Something doesn’t look right here. What’s missing?? 🤔😲 #havewindwilltravel #hurricanesally #boatprojects #shipyard
It has been a bit bittersweet to say goodbye to Palafox Marina, at least for the time being, and perhaps indefinitely. We just don't know. But, whatever may come, Palafox Marina will always be an important chapter in our boat's story as it was her primary home since we got Plaintiff’s Rest in 2013. That’s seven years of memories at that marina! Fun write-up, "Leaving Palafox Marina," is up at HaveWind today. Enjoy! #havewindwilltravel #palafoxmarina #hurricanesally #captainannie
We’ve been getting crabby 🦀 in the kitchen! Homemade crab rangoons with a “snakebite” tiki cocktail! 🍹 #havewindwilltravel #tiki #crab #goodeats #cheers
