Noel, you might want to email Norm ("Bandersnatch") directly in the event
he's not currently monitoring the list. He's got a pair of wind generators
mounted just abaft his pilot house and a humongous amount of solar panels on
the pilot house roof. He and Jan live completely off the grid (on board full
time) and from what I can tell has never plugged it to shorepower. Evidently
it's more than enough to keep two Engle freezers plus a refrigerator going
plus whatever else he needs.
