Replacing Halogens with LEDs

There is always work to be done on a boat.Today's project was to replace all of our 20W halogen lights with these 48 LEDs 3W bulbs, hoping to lower our electricity consumption. We also replaced our 1500W vertical heater with a 600W horizontal one.We want to spend as many days as we can on the hook (at anchor) and these changes are necessary to assure that our batteries don't run down too q...

We've made many trips there already, to get essentials for the b...

To celebrate, we finally opened that bottle of Whisky, given to us by ex co-workers.We acquired a few things that we were missing, sleeping bags, a pressure cooker, a bit of food, wine. We walked around Sidney, found some good coffee and bulk food stores. We still have a few things left at our AirBnB to move onto the boat, our bikes, some clothes, and a bit of ...

Zero-waste

We spend a lot of time thinking about how we will optimize our lives as live-aboards. One important thing to consider is trash, we aim to produce as little of it as possible.This week we made our first zero-waste purchases, such as compostable bamboo toothbrushes and a durable pot scrubber(instead of using sponges). We plan to get most of our food in bulk, and to keep it in glass jars. In an effor...
