Teresa Carey lives on her sailboat Daphne with no flush toilet or shower, an icebox for a refrigerator, no television and few electronics. She doesn't see it as a sacrifice, but as an opportunity to live a bigger life unfettered by her possessions.
Teresa and her cat Dory share a glimpse into their life aboard the Nor'sea 27, Daphne.
When Teresa Carey is sailing she knows just where all her energy comes from and where it's going. She has just a 130 watt solar panel - about 30 times less wattage than the average household- so she keeps electronics to a minimum. Besides solar and her sails, she uses some non-renewable energy: diesel for a small engine and propane for her stove.
