Solar Yacht

So 
In a land where the sun rises and sets at six each day

The obvious thing to do was to fix up solar panels

and an
ELECTRIC MOTOR

In the beginning was the yacht

This is the wonderful yacht I bought a couple of years ago
It has all the lines taken back to the cockpit
so
it is easy to handle single-handed
However
manoeuvring in harbour can be a tad tricky

especially when this 20 year old diesel engine will not start
and
as the cost of fuel rises each month
and
here in the Ionian Sea the fuel stations are few and far between
