Finally back home

After 127 days in Baton Rouge working on an Exxon project I finally got back to the boat last night. Now to take care of some deferred maintenance. With a bit of coin in m jeans it is time to haul Island Queen and do a bottom job. We are also going to add 4 more Trojan T 105 golf cart batteries giving us 8 in total. We have not been hooked up to shore power for nine months now, so we can make it with the current setup but it will be nicer to have the extra capacity. So far our solar arrangement has worked very well. Eventually I would like to have a wind generator as well, but that is low on the priority list.
