A big thanks to our Oregon sailing friends Jasmine and Shannon whose
example of living off the grid has been an inspiration. Lending us a
rare out of print copy of Sailing the Farm: A Survival Guide to Homesteading on the Ocean
by Ken Neumeyer was a real gift as it's helped us get to the next level
of self sufficiency. From pressure canning, sprouting, drying fish to
our newest pursuit drying fruit in a solar fruit drier.
