Hey Mike, glad you had a great cruise, and I enjoy reading about the systems that folks have put into their CD. My former travel trailer had 480 watts of solar on the roof, and 380 amp hours of storage. I always enjoyed watching the batteries recharge after making my morning coffee from the sun.
There are some nice days in the winter to cruise, and we have enjoyed them.
Prior to the April CBGT, I am planning a solo trip, and will to do the route planned for the event. It will be all new river miles for me, so this will be a practice run. I will also get to play with my new radar and windlass! _________________ Wesley and Karen

Thank you guys for the info. The reason for my questions is that my 22 Cruiser is a bit of a "stripper" in that it doesn't have a fridge, heater, or stove. I do have a pair of series 24 batteries and a 50watt solar panel. I've used a butane stove a few time for overnighters, but this upcoming season Joanie and I plan to do some cruising for a week or two at a time.
Recently I've been learning on how to use and preparing meals at home with an 6qt Intant Pot. I'm really starting to like it, and it is much more versatile that what you might think at first glance. There is a bit of a learning curve. They make a 3 qt model that draws 700 watts, so I am starting to think that and a Cobb grill might be the solution at least in regards to cooking. Also thinking of a drawer-type fridge (limited space, but with the under dinette cold storage locker - thanks for the tip Harvey) should give adequate room with a Yeti cooler. Going to see if we really need any heat from May - Sept in just going up into the Gulf Islands not Alaska. At least not for awhile...
Anyone have any experience using an Instant Pot as a primary cooking source onboard? |

Suzuki DF200a, an inline 4 cyl with a 3x15x21 prop and no foil at about 5750 rpm.
That was 39 statute miles per hour, or about 34 knots. _________________ TyBoo Mike

Tyboo, that's the exact top speed I reached in my 23' Venture.
