Where do I work?? A common question from those that know I live and work full time in my motor home. Here is the answer. This space was originally consumed by a jackknife sofa. Since I really don’t need seating space for twenty people nor sleeping pace for ten, I was happy to pull it… [Read More]
$10 per Watt
I recently read an article about a person that added solar power to their “vehicle” (attempting to protect the innocent). They installed approximately 400 watts of panels and paid nearly $10/watt!

A friend recently gave me the book Ten Years Behind the Mast (The Voyage of Theodora ‘R’) by Fritz Damle. This is a story of a Fritz’s ten year circumnavigation of the Earth aboard a sailboat.
