Too Rich, Too Good Looking, Too Much Battery Capacity

2 months ago by SwingingTheLamp to c/sailing

According to some Lemmings, because I have a "yacht," even though it's 25 feet long and I paid $3,000 for it, I'm pretty much the same as a billionaire: Too rich.

Yesterday, I fit a tiller pilot to my boat. I have two LiFePo batteries installed, because Xantrex originally had one on sale, and then Defender had a really, really good price on the other. I hadn't been able to run them down beyond 97% percent yet. So I let the tiller pilot steer for several hours, with the depth/knotmeter instrument running, and using the freshwater pump to wash dishes. With all of that, I was able to drain the batteries to...

Umm, 100%. The solar panel, with MPPT charge controller, took care of the power demands. Oh well, I guess I can really use them once I get the compressor mounted to turn the ice box into a refrigerator.

As for the too good looking part, well, that ought to be self-evident, right?

its kinda funny because you see folk like that who loop something like that as rich and you get like doctors thinking they are rich when all of that is way higher up. You are starting to be if you use llc's and trusts but the real rich and powerful are ready to gut those small fry.

I usually shove yacht owners into the harbor.
