182 Miles Traveled
145 Sailing
37 Motoring
We didn't travel too far this month, only going 182 miles (our lowest monthly total since leaving Muskegon). But we spent 80% of these miles under sail. We've had great wind for sailing in the Exumas. We really only motored when going through cuts, inlets, and getting in and off anchor.
29 Nights on Anchor
0 Nights At Marina
We spent all 29 nights of this leap year February on anchor this month. We didn't spend any nights at marinas or mooring balls this month and we've spent most of our time in remote anchorages
62 kWh of Solar Generated
We generated 62 kWh of solar in February, just over 2.1 kWh per day. This is 27% higher than January, and the highest solar generation we've had since leaving the slip in July 2023. We've also been using more electricity. Since we have more electricity to use, we've been using it more - making more water, doing more laundry, using our induction stove and electric tea kettle.... We finally have sufficient solar to have a bit more breathing room on our batteries.
$847 Total Spent
$29.20 Average Per Day
For the second month in a row, we've spent around $850 for the whole month. This month we didn't go to to any marinas, but we decided to spend a bit more on restaurants. We spent $214 at restaurants, $251 on groceries as we continued to be successful in fishing with our hand reel and pole spear. Those were the top two costs, followed by Starlink internet at $150. We also bought $101 in 'non-groceries' and $89 in fuel. 2/3 of the fuel cost was actually gasoline for our dinghy this month.
