We couldn't get all the dust off, so as we put it back up we rinsed it down and let the slurry run over the boat, which then needed cleaning!
It's amazing how much higher tall people like Tim can reach. Shorties like me climb to get some places and Tim just reaches up!
The weather has turned warmer at last, which means, not only is Tim in shorts and T shirt, but I am too! (Though I do have a sweatshirt on as well).
The wind is modest, 10 knots, but the sun out, so what do we get on the wind and solar?
11 Watts of wind and...
198 Watts of solar.
However, there is something significant about this: Silentwind have produced a new BOOST controller, so the modest 11.7 Watts of wind is actually coming from a wind generator that is only putting out 5.5 Volts. The BOOST controller takes this and converts it into energy that can charge your batteries.
