THE STORY CONTINUES

It’s more like a never ending story. The new sails are ok now. The hydraulics for the mainsail furler definitely not. Meanwhile the Webasto heater has sometimes a life of it’s own and the brand new alternator doesn’t do what it should do in the Mastervolt-systems. Have I told you about the blackwater pump? Have a guess.

I’m not going to mention the software issue with the Raymarine Axiom and the auto pilot. Hopefully that’s just an update. And there are always those little issues we just ignore.

So we’re in the marina in Makkum now. Waiting for things to happen. The sun is shining, it’s not too busy, it’s like having a little vacation. Cheers!

OK OK MAKKUM CITY IS NO. 22

The last stop of our little test journey we had the last few weeks. Now it’s time to focus on the next steps. First we’re going to take ‘Aegir’ to the Yachtservice in Sneek for some maintenance and little repairs. So she will be ready again the moment we come back from our little trip up North. Stay tuned for more information about this.

WHAT THE HECK

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!

I DEFINITELY HAVE THE FLU

And it is Ronnie's fault, as usual. We had to celebrate Ron's last evening in the marina before we (Leonie & me) raise anchor at the end of the week. And i told him several times, easy on this stuff, it isn't lemonade. But he never listens. Never ...

LIFERAFT

We said goodbye to our 16 year old liferaft and bought a brand new one. Big enough for four persons, so it should be fine for me and Leonie. Not big enough for the clamp but i made some adjustments and now it still doesn’t fit the way I would like to. Classic craftmanship ;). I’m going to think about it tonight and see what comes tomorrow.

CAN’T CALL THIS KETTLE BLACK

Have a look at our new kettle. Except for the handle it is hot as hell. And that’s the main reason we bought this sexy baby. Our old kettle was way to hot to handle the handle. Uhm, what? Forget it, we have something hot on board. That’s all that matters.
