I for one am quite happy with my electrical experiments :) I would be a solo sailor in June, July, August, and September without the electric fans. They make a hot humid still night at least bearable if not comfortable. I am very happy with my LED cabin lights that produce very little heat. I do NOT need the heat of a kerosene lantern below in the summer. The pressure water makes showering, hand washing, and dishwashing easier and has not really caused much trouble. Absent an engine I would not be able to stay at my marina. Due to the narrow entrance channel, you can almost never sail in AND sail out. If you can do one, you cannot do the other. Also engineless cruising and having a job do not mix well here.
