Two of the crew left today to go to work and attend meetings, so we made our way back to Braunston Marina, renting a mooring for the night with a shoreline electrical connection. A shoreline allows us to connect to the mains electricity to run the boat systems and charge the batteries without needing to run the engine for the four or five hours required to top them up after a normal night aboard.
For Syncopation, a gas free boat, overnight battery use includes boiling the kettle for cups of tea as well as the more normal TV watching, so the shoreline is essential if we don't want to run the engine.
