Janice aboard Seaweed,
living the good life afloat...
Trawler cruising on $14 per day is
possible.
I'm doing it and you can too.

Frog and the Red Tide. Soloist life aboard Seaweed can be interesting. One particular thing I enjoy is the variety that each new day brings. Today I might spend blitzing on new Kindle books, while tomorrow might find me in the bilges. I believe the mental stimulation is good for me. Sometimes though I'm a bit too stimulated. Here's what happened recently.

Battery Check and Cheater Method. Aboard Seaweed I inspect my batteries the first week of each month. But checking each cell, load testing, and more all takes time.

After six months of testing I am confident my "cheater" method is working well. Here's what I do.

Pilothouse AC Power Solution. For years I have wished for an electric outlet in my pilothouse. During the Christmas season I enjoy having lights up there.

Eventually I came up with a $5 solution. Here's what I did.

My home is not fancy by any means, however you cannot imagine how wonderful it is to come back to her after an expedition on shore.
If I can live this life, why not you too?

Every gift helps.
The Cruising Kitty is what boaters refer to as spending money. There's never enough aboard Seaweed!
