There's no place like HOME

A prime example of just how generous the local businesses of Prince Edward County are has come from Adam Busscher at our local Home Hardware. Adam generously donated four solar panels that will charge my large marine battery over the course of the 450 mile trip. ($210 value!) The battery will power my autopilot, which steers the boat when I am sleeping; the radio, which will be used for coast guard check in's and communication with other vessels; my cabin lights, and so many other things on board.

(Apologies for the squinting)

 Many thanks to Adam and be sure to stop in to Home Hardware and take a look at all of their equipment like this and so much more!
