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!

Seja meu apoiador clicando no link: https://apoia.se/veiodoidonomar #sal; #veleiro katooshi; #Veleiro Liberdade Neste vídeo eu lamento a perda a desistência da minha parceira de viagem. Depois de 18 meses planejando juntos, faltando 3 semanas ela avisou determinada que não vai mais. Já tínhamos tirado os passaportes, feitos exames médicos, comprados óculos de sol e de grau, comprados as roupas para proteger do calor e do frio. Mesmo assim, ela desistiu. Mas vida que segue.

This is the 5th water outage this month in Sunninghill. I don't know who got the tender for fitting the pipes in this neighbourhood, but they need to come back and redo the entire job. I can't remember one month we've made it through without at least one days water being cut.

Min kompass går inte att sätta någon kåpa på, för att skydda den mot solen när båten inte används. Men en handduk kan enkelt sättas fast och göra jobbet.
