Pedal Power!

I’m really happy to be delivering a boat this week, and another in mid-October. I really want to stash as much cash as I can into the cruising kitty before Splendid sails in a few months. If anyone has any delivery work or boat projects they need help with please let me know. I have friends who are pilots and have free airfare available to me and can travel around the country.

I’m bringing the Spot and will run it during my delivery from the Chesapeake to Jersey city, keep an eye on it.

As you guys know I’m crazy into green power. Sam, Guin and myself live almost 100% on it these days. I still don’t have a wind generator but it’s coming soon. I often think ‘What will I do on cloudy, non-windy days’. Well I’ve found the answer and I’m really excited about it. As you know I carry 2 bikes on board and have often wondered how to convert the bike power to electricity. It’s not a complicated thing but maximizing the power output is. I’ve found the answer.

I’m thinking of demonstrating it at the Annapolis boat show this year.

I have read so many articles over the years about exercising onboard, well here is the best option. You can exercise your way to cold beer and natural power, how can you beat that?

Cheers everyone.

Peace, Love, and pedal power.

Sail far and live slowly.
