Mounting 300W of SOLAR PANELS on Sailboat | JACKSONVILLE Land Life [Wildly Intrepid Ep 94]
Time to mount an extra 300W of solar panels on the sailboat. And this time we don’t make the mistake of buying semi-flexible panels we go with rigid solar panels to be fully sufficient once in the Bahamas. We also enjoy land life in Jacksonville with Alex’s siblings. It was odd sleeping in a bed which didn’t move. And I found the biggest lemons ever.
We become locals and go at Hanna Park with my sisters Julie and Chantal, enjoy some drinks at the Hoptinger rooftop bar in Riverside where my niece Melissa joins us. We even get a delicious seafood meal with the whole family and brother in laws Sean and Jeff.
The land life adventures continue in St. Augustine where we check out the stunning architecture of Flagler College, we drink a few margaritas before devouring tasty pizza slices at Pizza Time and enjoy the Christmas lights.
This is when we realized our semi-flexible solar panels weren’t working well anymore
