Who has not dreamed of living off-grid. Toni and I with our Seawind Catamaran thought this might be achievable, with our water maker, 1600 watts of solar, fishing skills and the like. But are we really ever off-grid, AIS tattling your course and speed, smart phones and smart watches lighting up the airwaves, cell towers pinging your location with every text message, and now eyes in space. I guess we could simply turn everything off, but then how will they find us if we are ever in distress? Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts. Subscribe and share the adventure!

Ever wondered what's hidden beneath the floorboards of a sailboat? ? In this episode, we're stepping just ahead of the saloon into the guest area of Vela. Beneath your feet lies a network of essential systems that keep life on board running smoothly: ? Thru-hulls: - One for discharging the holding tank. - A water intake for the toilet and our new washdown pump. ? Shower drain pump: - Pumps out the water from your onboard shower, keeping things dry. ? ? Depth and speed transducers: - Telling us how fast we're going and how deep the waters are. ? ? Forward-looking sonar: - A lifesaver for spotting shallow waters ahead, helping us navigate safely into hidden coves and anchorages. ? It's amazing how many essential systems are tucked away down here. Had you imagined that so many of the things we use daily are hidden beneath the floorboards? ? ?

Bei jeder Silverrudder hat man mit Problemen zu tun. Diesmal lief es bis Fredericia super aber dann steckte die halbe Flotte für Stunden in einem Flautenloch. Für die meisten zu nervenaufreibend um danach wieder zur alten Form aufzulaufen, auch für mich. 2024 wird's wieder besser :-)!
