Default first stop in a non-stop circumnavigation.....

Seems the load is more than 2 wind generators and solar panels can handle.
Cruising is adjusting your expectations to the ability of the boat/equip to
accomodate those expectations. I think a good way for kids to "acclimatize"
would be to do a week long camping trip, carrying (backpack) everything
needed for the week. Ipod runs out of juice first day, phone is dead second
day, etc until all the kids have to entertain themselves is each other and
the great outdoors.
I wish her well but don't think there are going to be any records set this
time out.
