Esky Covers - Are they worth it? | How well do cooler covers work | Sailing with the James's (Ep.72)

Esky Covers - Are they Worth it? How Well do cooler covers work? We have gotten two new 65L Kings Freezers for the boat. While redoing our couch upholstery we have upcycled and repurposed the old couch material and made a cover for one of the Eskys. We really like upcycling material and creatively repurposing materials and giving them a new purpose and life. AND MAN OH MAN has the esky cover made a difference to our power draw! So much so that we just had to share with you guys! We have stats of what we drew before a cover and stats after, and how much we have decided in power consumption. Are Esky covers with it?? Definitely Yes. Welcome to Sailing with the James's! We are the James Family, we purchased an unfinished aluminium catamaran and are fixing her up as we sail around the world. Come onboard our boat and join this sailing family aboard on our floating home! ______________________________________________________________________________ Link to window shade screen that we have used on the windows and hatches (The good stuff we have found!): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005848971781.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.75bdf19clSEV1k If you missed last week's episode, watch it here: https://youtu.be/5q92Pshl8sM Boat tour of our project boat, an Aluminum Catamaran: https://youtu.be/RhyaasimV9M ________________________________________________________ You can support us making sailing videos by: Become a virtual crew member by becoming a PATREON!- YOU are making these videos possible! https://patreon.com/Sailingwiththejamess You can make a once off donation for the price of a cup of coffee! https://ko-fi.com/sailingwiththejamess _________________________________________________________ SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.facebook.com/SailingWithTheJamess https://www.instagram.com/SailingWithTheJamess/ Chapter Content: 00:00 - Start 00:51 - Shade Mesh Drama 05:47 - Let's Head Inside 08:20 - Statistics on the Freezer 12:47 - End Credits --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT US: We are a family of three sailing around the world and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every week!
