Well that was exciting! Was great seeing you sailing again, lil rough on day 1, but I'd think that is probably similar to anyone who's been on the hard so long. Like any other time, you both worked through it and were rewarded with a much better day 2... I think we've all been thinking about you the last week or so with Hilary making her presence known. Hope you are both safe and Calico Skies is secure in a safe anchorage or marina...

Love seeing you back on the water! I would love to do what you two are doing. After several motor yachts, we are almost retired in Florida on a canal to the gulf coast with a center console. I have to say, nice to have the comforts of home and boat too! If you are ever in the area, you are welcome at our home. I enjoy your content and I am happy to see Grace doing well. ❤. I didn’t recall Bill needing surgery. Hope all is well with him as well ❤

If your solar is full, you should run your AC (you do have a soft start?). Otherwise that power is just wasted. The air conditioning will remove some humidity from the cabin.
