1245-I didn't like the crowds of cabins at the head of the Bay so I returned to a site just a quarter of the way up the north side of the Bay. I put up the panels right away and saw a peak of 400 watts input, which is maximum for this array! Best I've ever seen.

1730-Had steak, mashed potatoes, hot rolls, and red wine. Remaining salad had turned, so no salad for dinner. More sun this evening, very nice! 67F/52F. Solar 62%. A 44% rise in mostly cloudy conditions. Only occasional breaks. It's amazing how well the solar can gather watts with just a little sun, of which I've had very little on this trip.

I plan to motor down to High Rock Island tomorrow. About two miles away. I've not been there since 2018 when I flew my DJI Spark drone there. This time it will be the Mavic 2 Zoom. Not sure if I'll fly the preprogrammed flight or not.

2000-Sat on the aft deck having my evening Baileys with chocolate covered almonds for dessert. Took some time lapse video and pics. I set up the table top fire inside since it was quite cold out, 66F/45F. I will listen to music until I get tired then hit the sack and listen to my new audio book by C.J. Box, "Nowhere to Run."
