Don Street had cold beer on Iolaire

crossing the Atlantic. He had no engine but he had a wind generator at the top of the mizzenmast and a water generator (made from the prototype wind generator).
Other than a few lights, I don't think he had very much on board that would draw electricity. Paper charts, parallel rule, sextant, dividers, all pretty "green."
We've come a long way, but we do seem to drag a lot of stuff along with us.
