Temperature and fishing information
Solar power
In addition I am probably bringing:
- Portable solar panel
- 12V battery
- solar charge controller
- custom panel with circuit breakers and 12V cigarette lighter outlets
- small inverter for AC power from the battery
- power strip
mainly to keep electronics charged.
You could also run the houseboat's own generator or (battery-backed inverter?)
for AC power, but I already have the battery, solar panel, etc.
Solar is cleaner, quieter, etc., but then you already knew that. ;)
Note to self: Increase circuit breaker sizes and bring larger inverter.
Existing breakers and inverter were too small to charge laptop.
Personal Safety Equipment
Here's a document about
personal safety equipment.
A PFD and flashlight are definitely good to bring.
An FRS radio for communicating too.
