Alan texted us the picture below from his phone. He's got the battery monitor all hooked up now. The solar panels and wind generator seem to be doing their share of keeping the batteries charged, and they are starting to see how much power things use, and how well they replenish the power.
Alan said that next they plan to finish wiring up all the navigation lights (they are running temporary lights now). And he mentioned their needing a frying pan, and getting the boats stove converted to propane soon, they aren't able to easily cook on their temporary coleman camp stove while underway.
Another picture from Alan (below) with an explanation of the power generated to the battery banks. The 12.5 amps shown above shows the power generated from the motor. The 7.1 amps below is power that is generated solely from the solar panel and wind generator.
