Batteries look like they're a go!

We did a final test our battery bank overnight by disconnecting the shore power. We ran the normal stuff. One light, fridge, stereo for Rhys, cpap machine, and a fan. We also had the laptop plugged in because it was uploading a video. Battery bank showed 12.4v all night and will only climb now because of the solar. Think we'll keep the shore power disconnected today and again tonight. So far so good! We won't be hitting a marina for a while so we need to be sure everything is operational for anchorages. We had planned on leaving this week but we found out Toby Keith is playing a free concert on the base we're at and its within walking distance to us...so why not? That's on the 10th, we now we plan to depart on the 12th. Our path is St Augustine first for a few days then we will head south for the Keys where we have a slip at Boca Chica Naval Base. We plan to fly the kids into Miami and then enjoy the Keys and surrounding areas for the summer. Things are looking good!!!
