Lowes.....$129.00

......and a bit of Reuters ingenuity and walla......we have comfortable temps below decks in what is unseasonably hot weather here in Little River. We arrived on Friday with the forecast of extreme heat for the coming week...now. It's been building and today the predict is for 97!. So off we went to lowes on Friday first thing to get a window mount smallish 5000BTU Frigidaire and a roll of reflectex. This stuff is number one on a boat for tons of uses. After at small amount of fussing as is usually the case on a boat, we've had restful nights and days. This unit only draws 4 amps AC which is a nice amount of current. Doing the math says that maybe this little baby could even be used on a hook using our inverter and dc system. Temps is about 78 below decks. We also have sun fabric shades over the outside of the boat to keep direct sun off the decks. So together, the system seems to be working. 
I guess this one of the pluses of being on a dock :-/

  1. Is this your main hatch, Ernie? Do you have to move it every time you go enter or leave the cabin? Maybe at 97, you never left!
