It takes a lot of energy, not to mention money, but we’re getting there, slowly.
Navigational systems are almost working like I want them to work. Fishfinder is ok, plotters and camera’s are ok. We’re still busy with one of the three bilgealarms and there’s an annoying interference on the vhf.
Have you ever been in an engineroom wondering where a strange noise comes from. The filters? Do they rinse themselves? No that’s not possible. Is there something in the daytank running? No that’s not possible. So what is it?
Aaaaah it’s our Femke playing on the dashboard with the bilgepump button. And I’m pretty sure I saw her smiling whilest running away!
Meow, leave me alone you lazy landlubbers. Go scrub the deck and raise the anchor. Do I have to do everything here myself? On the double or I’ll keelhaul you all!
We finally got our Ais-name changed. Now you can find us on Marinetraffic or Vesselfinder. If not by name you can use our MMSI number, 244690447, that should always work. At the moment I’m trying to delete some old and wrong pictures. This will probably take a while.
There still some issues going on. De generator is running hot and we need some more changes to optimize the electric system. Some things are already fixed, but i just hate poorly loading alternators and lousy installations. The fishfinder doesn’t give a correct picture and we’re planning an extra plotter on the flydeck. We surely need better ventilation inside so we’re working on that and are still thinking about the best solution to reduce our water consumption.
And like always a thousand little things more. But I’m sure our Aegir is ready to sail out in May. The only question is whether I’m fit enough to go.
