I enjoyed reading your experience with power outages. It’s fascinating how living on a farm and now on a catamaran has shaped your resilience. I can relate to the importance of being prepared; having generators on hand must have made a huge difference during those blackouts.
Living off-grid certainly has its perks. I often think about how dependent we are on the grid for everything. You raise a good point about the interconnectedness of infrastructure. It makes you appreciate the systems we often take for granted. I wonder how many folks really understand the implications of a total grid collapse.
Your setup with Starlink and VHF radios sounds solid. It’s smart to have backup communication, especially when out at sea. Those connections can be a lifeline in tough times. 🌊
