5 We bought a messed up dinghy!
In this episode we get a special delivery, take time out to party with friends and find a great deal on an only slightly busted dinghy!
Join us for the unboxing of our new power plant- 4 LiTime (formerly Ampere Time) 190 Amp Hr LiFePo batteries and a 4k inverter from SunGold Power! We also take possession of our new (to us) AB dinghy- just long enough for one thrilling ride- and turn right around to put it in the shop for repairs. ‘Tis the season for Tricks and Treats, and at FLOW the Tricks just keep coming!
Sailing SV Flow!

They no longer offer the specific 4K “all-in-one” we got, but this is the same thing without the integrated MPPT solar charge controller. To be honest, I wish I had gotten this one instead since it has a smaller form factor and we ended up needing a bigger charge controller from Victron (so not even using the on-board one).

The exact Ampere Time 12.8V 190Ah LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Batteries
we got. I chose them for their form factor, output rating, and cost.

The Victron 1000amp bus bar I got. I probably could have gotten away with a 600amp simple bus bar, but the Victron one has spaces for fuses built in and can handle the surge ratings I am expecting.

For Love of Wind
Sailing SV Flow - 2 people, 4 dogs, 0 experience We’re just a couple of middle-aged empty-nesters who are slightly prone to “Oooh-Shiny” Syndrome and sometimes lack the good sense to back down from a challenge. Granted, no one has ever accused us of leading boring lives; crazy, maybe, but not boring. We don’t do sweet, sane life-in-a-box. We do live in a near constant state of chaos, but chaos has become our friend and our mentor. Now we’ve really jumped off the deep end (pun definitely intended) and are taking on our biggest challenge yet- we are setting out on a circumnavigation of the globe in our 45' sailboat with our four dogs as unwitting accomplices. This new adventure promises to shape and mold our lives in ways we’ve only imagined. We invite you to follow along with us as we turn the page on this new chapter. And don’t worry- while you are starting in the middle of our story, you, my friend, have the benefit of skipping right to the best chapter!
