I've been pleasantly surprised to see that our keel cooler keeps our
Frigoboat system at their design temps, 8 and 34 in freezer and frig,
respectively, despite it being not only out in the air, but under the drape
(leading to higher temps) around the boat during our bottom sanding.

Needless to say, it's more efficient in the water, but, hooked up to shore
power, power/amps aren't an issue, and we're thrilled with the ice cubes and
the icy drinks, along with entirely normal food preservation temps.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.

Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
