Im so inspired with all my time away from facebook, its like a digital cage for my mind. I’m writing a blog about it now.

As far as frying my electronics I had my depth sounder, transducer, and my wifi multiplexer all wired together to test before my install. It was late, I was tired, trying to keep to schedule, and pushing myself. I lowered my electric panel, attached the ground, and touched the positive to the 110 side of the panel. I’m not used to having shore power, to me all positives are 12v :(

So I had to break down and buy a depth sounder with transom mounted transducer. I got the lowrence elite 7 because it has an option as a chart plottter for me to make my own charts. I can put a 2nd transducer on my dinghy, go into shallow, uncharted water, and chart the bottom. Come back to Eleanor, reattach my chart-plotter, and get into uncharted water. I like to anchor far away from all the other boats.I really enjoy my privacy and this is a really cool thing for me :)

Wish I could come along for the ride. Congrats for dumping Facebook too.

How did you short out your electronics?

Facebook…. Good to hear you are backing out of it. I was puzzled seeing you get into facebook frequently for the past couple of years. I find it doesn’t really suit you and your cause (imho). I got sucked back into it last year due to the ease of updating stuff from my mini cruise … what a trap! Flee, flee!!
