The last two weeks have been a busy time for the new crew of Red Rocket. With a brave heart nothing impossible, they will have responded favourably to the call of the sea, and organized their life so far sedentary for a jump into the unknown. Who has never dreamed of swapping their existence for an unpredictable, sunny and salty adventure? Few of us have had a chance to put their daily lives in the wings, and turn their dream of family pilgrimage into reality. Our farmers in the Loire Atlantique will have managed to overcome all the difficulties inherent in a hasty departure for one year. The farm is in good hands for one year, Children already doing their homework on the square table of Red Rocket and the explorations in the Canaries can begin serenely. Before the first ambitious navigations, a technical tour of Red Rocket was necessary to discover its systems, its sails, the inventory and refuelling present on board, and of course the different communication systems that will connect them to land. Red Rocket can continue her journey serenely, in good hands! - Les deux dernières semaines n’auront pas été de tout repos pour le nouvel équipage de Red Rocket. A cœur vaillant rien d’impossible, ils auront répondu favorablement à l’appel du large, et organisé leur vie jusqu’ici sédentaire pour un saut dans l’inconnu. Qui n’a jamais rêvé de troquer son existence pour une aventure imprévisible, ensoleillée et salée ? Peu d’entre nous auront eu une chance de mettre leur quotidien entre parenthèses, et de transformer leur rêve de pérégrination en famille. Nos fermiers de Loire Atlantique auront réussi à surmonter toutes les difficultés inhérentes à un départ précipité pour un an. La ferme est entre de bonnes mains pour une année, les enfants déjà à leurs devoirs sur la table de carré de Red Rocket et les explorations aux canaries peuvent commencer sereinement. Avant les premières navigations ambitieuses un tour technique de Red Rocket s’imposait, afin de découvrir ses systèmes, ses voiles, l’inventaire et avitaillement présent à bord, et bien sûr les différents systèmes de communication qui les raccorderont à terre. Red Rocket peut donc poursuivre son périple sereinement, entre de bonnes mains !

http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/03/brp-rolls-out-a-joystick-control-for-v6-evinrude-outboards/ For more videos from the Miami Boat Show, visit www.boats.com. BRP has teamed up with SeaStar Solutions (formerly Teleflex) to offer a joystick control system for Evinrude outboards. The system is an adaptation of the SeaStar Optimus 360 joystick control that allows it to function with the BRP/Evinrude ICON digital throttle-and-shift remote control. It will be offered for any Evinrude V6 outboard model, but only for boats running twin engines. BRP debuted the system at the 2013 Miami International Boat Show, installed on a 32-foot 7-inch Andros Offshore 32 powered by a pair of Evinrude E-TEC 250 motors. We reported on the introduction of the Optimus 360 system at the 2012 Miami show, and the version that will be offered for Evinrude motors uses the same power steering helm and SeaStar Smart Cylinder steering rams, which are equipped with magnetic sensors that feed steering position data back to the electronic control module (ECM) that manages the system. The key difference is that the BRP system replaces the digital-to-cable throttle/shift actuator used on the original Optimus 360 with an interface to the BRP ICON control. For safety reasons, that ICON control uses its own electronic protocol, rather than the NMEA standard common to most other marine electronics, which is built into this version of the Optimus 360 system and makes it specific to Evinrude motors.

Ormai inseriti nel quotidiano via vai di Brindisi. Abbiamo praticamente messo le radici, anche Julia farà fatica a staccarsi di qua. Il meteo ci ha detto di aspettare e noi lo abbiamo ascoltato. Questo ci ha permesso di approfondire conoscenze, farne sempre di nuove e scoprire i meandri della città. Non oggi. Oggi abbiamo lavorato, mangiato pranzo, lavorato, mangiato un gelato, lavorato, fatto cena. Il tempo è stato uggioso, grigio, spento. Per questo l’abbiamo sfruttato per portarci avanti. Chi ha tempo non aspetti tempo! Diceva mia nonna. Di tempo ne abbiamo, eccome! A breve ripartiremo, riprenderemo il mare. Non che ora non siamo al mare, per carità. Ma riprenderemo le navigazioni e, forse, anche le notturne. Questa pausa in Puglia ha preso più tempo del previsto, ora bisogna risalire e sfruttare ogni finestra meteo buona ci capita a tiro. Sole = miglia. Luna = miglia. E così sarà, con quale strato di vestiti in più e con qualche miglio mancante in meno ogni giorno che passa. Ci vediamo domani! Buona notte marinai nel cuore😘 Andrea
