After sailing 32,500 nautical miles around the world I want to give a shout out to my two loyal and exceptional crew members. They never talk back to me, require feeding or fall asleep on watch. In a perfect world they would make cups of tea and wash the dishes but I can't complain. The Aries windvane has kept Fathom on course in all sorts of conditions from 5knots of wind to 50knots of wind, flat seas to tumbling waves, upwind and downwind. I couldn't have got this far without it and have spent many hours watching it do its business without complaint using no electricity and only the power of the wind, a truly fantastic piece of engineering. Secondly the Aquair 100 tow gen. The generator is mounted on the pushpit and the forward motion of the boat spins a metal propeller at the end of 20m of rope. In winds over 15kts the drag created is unimportant and in tandem with the solar panel it keeps the batteries full and the fridge going 24/7. Cheers to both!

O domingo dia dois de maio estava lindo, vento bom de nordeste com 10 a 12 nós, na saída da rampa o motor não pegou e saí na vela, fui no través e ao tentar cambar a porca que firma a cana do leme soltou, apertei com um alicate mas o leme havia saído da posição e eu não conseguia voltar, o marinheiro foi me rebocar e no flutuante centramos o leme e apertei bem a porca. Fizemos o brinde eu e a Rosana, com os amigos Guilherme e Isabeli registrando, depois iniciamos a primeira velejada, coloquei a vela genoa pequena e a mestra, o barco é leve e com boa flutuação, ganhou velocidade rápido e no contra vento não adernou muito. Velejamos até a Vila da Glória e retornamos, foi uma alegria depois de tanto trabalho sentir o barco navegar bem.
