How long?

Well we have transitioned to being on the hook full time rather well. In the last couple of days it feels like we have never slept before and have returned to that of a child....reading, playing, napping, eating, playing some more, and more napping! It makes me feel as if I am 8 years old again. We do have a few issues as far as power consumption goes. Since we have been on the coast and away from the Delta, we have not seen the sun and the wind has been light. This is keeping the fridge and lights going with a few bursts to charge cell phones but not enough to charge the pc's and other devices..no gaming systems or tv...I know I know...we could live without but it would be nice to watch a movie with the family or catch the local news..or NCIS..Criminal Minds...Seinfeld....haha! Our solar panels kick out so much juice but...yep they need, well, Sun! Our wind generator will also crank out the juice when the wind is consistent. Right now in light ans sporadic winds it just gets going with a good rythm to charge and the wind peters out. Our engine is isolated from the house so no chance there of charging....what to do? Go south for the sunshine or suck it up and buy a portable generator. I would like to just go south and soak up the big stars rays but we must stay in the area a little longer as to finish a few things up. So after some thought I think we will be buying one today. Other than that, Everything is excellent and being free from the dock is the best!
