GL: Where to park a boat in Keys in December

[Ralph Yost]

Add a small solar panel and a regulator to charge the batts while the
boat is on the mooring and you may save enough to pay for the month's
dock fees. Plus, you will be able to continue to use it in the future
while you are at anchor.

We spent last winter in Marathon at Sombrero, It's a nice place. We had
friends that moved there boat from Sombrero to a mooring for a week,
while they were gone home. They got in trouble with the marina for
leaving their boat unattended. How will your batteries get charged, or
are you willing to trust them for a month?
