Grizzly Bear & Cub Wrestle and Feed on the Shore near our Boat - Potts Lagoon Anchorage, BC
Took this footage from behind our boat on July 20/21, 2024, as we were anchored near Potts Lagoon between North Vancouver Island and the BC coast. A momma grizzly and her cub play-fought in the grass one evening and then, the following day, showed up again to look for snacks under the rocks during a low tide. What a treat to see!

Переглядів 1,3 тис.12 годин тому
Anne reviews the recent major boat work on our 1976 CHB trawler, Vestri. She narrates a slide show of the job, from sanding through layers of old paint down to the gel coat. Then, she details repairs to cracked fiberglass and blisters. She finishes by looking at the products, including anti-fouling paint, zinc spray, and an epoxy barrier undercoat. The job was expensive-$8200 Canadian-but it wi...

Titan Fridge Fan Repurposed For Electrical Cabinet Cooling on our Boat

In this video, I demonstrate how I have repurposed a Titan rack-mount 12VDC fridge fan for cooling on our boat. I'm using the fan to cool a pair of battery chargers. By placing the fan's thermistor above the chargers, the fan set to auto mode will come on as needed and cool them. The hotter the sensor reads, the faster the fan speed. So far, the mod has worked great! View Previous Titan Fan Vid...

      Solar harvest will be about the same so its really up to you physically if its easier so deal with one suitcase or two. The 400W works well for us but it is a bit awkward due to the extra weight. Took me a while to figure out the best way to open it up deploy and close to store.
