Good Luck Nutsy,

I didn't have a AC but had a Microwave. I had a 500W Genset to charge
Batteries for Inverter. Not much bigger than a Lunch box. Noisy as hell
but portable. Used battery clip to use and disconnect and stored in the
Head when not in use, which was most of the time. My diesel Aux was a
better choice. Quitter and less fuel and all hooked up to boat
circuitry.

It didn't go with the sale. I've hooked it up to my furnace circuit in
the house. I can have heat and a couple of lights during Power Failures.

Bet your thankful for AC this Summer back there. I've used my House AC
more this year than all the other years combined.

Nice today. 64 degrees and force 2 breeze and sunny.

You win that bet. The heat index for most of this week was 100-105
degrees. At least I was able to spend some time aboard and let a friend
sleep aboard when her power went out in Astoria. On more "normally" hot
days the A/C is nice when we're done with a sail. Packing up the main
and cleaning up usually takes a while, so it's nice to finish up below
in a cool cabin with an ice cold drink. Those windless days mean the
boat is more usable for BBQ as well.
I have to laugh when I think of poor Dave or Scotty Vermon hanging on a
hook with no A/C days like yesterday. They sure are "roughing it!"

Nutsy,

I think you may have run that "HOOK" into your thumb. With a couple of
6volt Fans and open hatches a boat on the water can be kept very
comfortable and a lot more economical than a AC.

Out here, in the Pacific NW the water temp never get above 50 degrees.
Very nice if you can circulate it. Even LISound, as I remember doesn't
get into the 80's very often. BUT

A AC is very nice but a space hug. If you have one you're just about
obligated to use it.

Thom, the LIS has been in the 90's plenty this summer. We start our
daysails later in the day and sail into the evenings because of it.
