Do you need full battery charging or maintenance charging? Did you read the POST on my blog that I linked to earlier. In most areas, I'd say solar is better than wind. Wind is higher maintenance and a lot less welcome in many places, since most wind gens are fairly noisy.

You can get solar power fairly inexpensively, if you look here.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
