Welcome to Day 4 of our Christmas calendar! ? Today, we're taking you behind the aft cabin, where all the magic happens to keep Vela running smoothly. ? Here's what's tucked away behind our bed: ?? Rudder & quadrant: This is where the hydraulic steering actuator connects to the rudder, enabling us to steer from the cockpit. While the hydraulic system eliminates breakable wires, it also means less tactile feedback on the rudder. ? 5kW oil heater: This keeps our entire boat warm-even in freezing winter temperatures. ?? We plan to insulate the heating hoses to improve efficiency and reduce diesel consumption. ?? Ventilation pumps: These service the galley and engine compartment, but they're old and noisy. Replacing them with quieter, more efficient models is on our project list! ? Autopilot system: Autopilot computer: Powers the hydraulic pump, steering the boat for us. Gyro compass: Provides precise input to ensure we stay on course. This area might not be glamorous, but it's essential for keeping us comfortable and safe at sea. Got questions about how these systems work? Drop them in the comments! ? ? Tune in tomorrow as we explore another part of Vela! ?

#Jellyfish are super cool and alien-like #creatures that will mesmerize you as they float and swim in the #ocean. There are so many different types, all with their own special characteristics. Some have bell-shaped bodies and long, flowy tentacles, while others have bright colours and crazy patterns on their bodies that are super eye-catching. Just chillin' and watching them drift along with the #current can be super calming and peaceful. And yeah, some jellyfish can sting you, so watch out for that. But honestly, it's hard to deny the awesomeness of these floating and swimming creatures in the ocean! ?? info@LaGaligoLiveaboard.com ? +62 812 2000 2025 (WhatsApp) ? www.LaGaligoLiveaboard.com ?
