We did Grenada in 2005 and had a great time and made 1st
Pirates of Carib there and wonderful sailing and places to anchor.

When Hunter went from the 356 to 36 they changed to front load ref with
very small freezer which my wife likes better than the deep chest ref.
We picked up a Engel portable freezer/ and we liked the way it works we got a
edgestar and they both run 12/110 auto and use very low power for sure.
Yes 3 all together 1 freezer 2 ref and we like cold drinks and cold food and can even get the ice trays to makes ice cubes too.
I have 2-195 watt panels that keeps my 4-6vollt T-105's welled charged and run the Gen to cool and make hot water in this very hot weather in Florida.
When really hot as it has been on our 3 week trip we run the AC at night for hour to cool boat and charge batteries and all the other toys before going to sleep.
