Boat trip
« on: August 06, 2015, 09:39:20 AM »
My wife and I just finished a 3 week trip in Kenai Fjords National Park on our Pacific Seacraft 37 sailboat.  It was nice to get away from people for a while….



Humpback



Black bear…she had two cubs with her.  Got a bit testy when we first anchored.

Amazing.

What do you use for power source on the boat, a generator?

ghi, the Phantom is alive and well….just haven't edited any video yet from the trip.

Curval, No generator (other than the 150amp alternator on the inboard diesel).  I have 6 Group 31 AGM batteries as my house bank and a wind generator to help with the charging.

Here's the boat:

No problem.  Elnora was my mother's name.  She passed away in '95, was a free spirited sort of person…sailor at heart I think.

My uncle had a 1920s double mast schooner that we use to sail on out of Newburyport MA. Loved that boat. Her name fit her as well    She was the "Satin Doll"
