Sunbeam, thanks! There wasn't visible condensation on the walls, but it felt pretty damp inside the cabin. I'm starting to think a stronger/better adhesive is going to be what I need, and I'm OK with that. My concern with removal is mostly that the foam/glue residue would prove practically...

UPDATE! Thanks for the tip on respirators. I bought one of the 3m cartridge type respirators and sure enough, NO SMELL WHATSOEVER while I was gluing stuff to the walls. Count me among the converted, that thing is AWESOME. However, I had no luck on getting foam to stick to the walls. I tried...

Nice! We were there in January while the construction was still going on, glad to hear it is finished! The town was really cool, can't wait to go back!

Thanks for the excellent tips and suggestions, everyone! I will be sure to try a couple of different kinds of foam and adhesive in small patches. Sure enough, the neoprene does smell like a wetsuit - I hadn't even considered that. I've ordered a sample of ensolite foam and will test it for...

That looks GREAT! Does it help with condensation?

Thank you very much for all the feedback, folks! My battery combining switch is a fairly new Blue Sea systems switch, so I will not worry too much about using that switch while underway in the short term. In addition, I will make sure to get my hands on an ACR type relay as soon as possible to...

My fellow C-Brats, I'd like to share some GREAT news. We bought a boat! And had a DELIGHTFUL shakedown cruise last weekend, about which more in another thread. In this thread I'm trying to puzzle through a battery charging strategy and I request your help. We have 2 batteries on board - house...

No questions but I'd love for you to pass on a hearty THANK YOU! ActiveCaptain was a dream come true for me as an inexperienced liveaboard, and it continues to be an amazing resource every time I'm on the water or planning a trip.

Sunbeam (and maybe others who have faced this Mac annoyance), There is a company called HyperShop that makes a variety of external batteries, connecting cables, etc. to help charge Apple laptops more conveniently: http://www.hypershop.com/ I haven't used that particular one, but I have used a...
