OK, so our boat is now on the hard. And I have electricity. That's right, she is now plugged into a 30 amp service.
I noticed a lot of mildew on the ceiling in the forward stateroom. There was also condensation (droplets) on the inside of the hatches up front. The relative humidity was 84% according to the guage in the cabin.
I put up a temporary tarp so I could open one of the hatches. And I'm building a big, sailnet-inspired, pvc-framed tarp in the next few weeks.
Is there anything else that I can do to lower the humidity and keep the mildew at bay? I'm thinking about putting a small dehumidifier next to the sink, so that it will automatically drain out. (The hatches would then be closed.) Maybe a 110v fan would keep the air moving too.
