Hey guys, I’ve just finished editing this reel/video - which took surprisingly long to edit since I had to squeeze 21 days on the hard into a 1-minute video! 🤪🙈😅 Of course, this video only covers the surface; I’ll go into more detail when I’m uploading the long-format YouTube episode. 😅 As you can see, I’ve decided to repaint my whole boat since I didn’t like the old paint at all. It was grey, there were darker patches everywhere to cover up who knows what, and the YouTube logo that the previous owner painted on was something I just didn’t want on my boat since I personally like simple and clean lines. So now, Sirocco looks brand new and has her name neatly sitting on the bow and stern, and I added my home port of Berlin to the stern of my boat as well, which I’m very proud of (and just realized that I didn’t film the stern at all). 🙈🤪😂 The other jobs included not only the cleaning of the propeller or the new antifoul - I actually had to strip down the old antifoul completely back to the gel coat, to be able to check out a potential patch of delamination that my surveyor informed me about when he surveyed my boat. Unfortunately, the delamination was confirmed by a fiberglass and gel coat mechanic that I hired in Grenada. He actually found another big area of gel coat that was damaged on my keel - which probably happened when the previous owner hit the ground (and promised me that he had it fixed professionally but it didn’t look that way). The mechanic then fixed it and applied the brand new antifoul - so it was altogether way more expensive than the usual annual haul out (and took triple as long as planned) but it had to be done and I’m happy about the results! What do you think - doesn’t Sirocco look fabulous now? 😉🥰⛵️ Cheers guys, Kristina

Ordinaria amministrazione a bordo di Julia Il tempo si sta dilatando. O meglio, la percezione che ne abbiamo. Ci sono momenti che corrono velocissimi, altri che non passano più. In generale ripensare a ieri ci mette in difficoltà “ma cosa abbiamo fatto ieri? Cos’è successo?” Ed è qui che vengono in aiuto i reel del giorno😄 Ognuno a bordo bene o male sta tenendo il suo diario personale sul viaggio e non mancano momenti di scambio, di riflessioni e di punti sulla situazione. Facendo un punto tecnico: navighiamo a 8,5 nodi al traverso. 14 nodi di vento. Rotta 050. Stiamo facendo prua poco più a nord delle Azzorre. Dobbiamo seguire il flusso anticiclonico che ci accompagna per mano alle Azzorre. A bordo tutto continua normale, una vita che non fa mancare i suoi ritmi e le sue necessità: si mangia, si dorme, ci si lava, si lavano i piatti. Tutto da programma, ciò che differisce sono solo i modi. Per il resto si fa tutto quel che si deve. Corriamo veloci, stiamo entrando nelle battute finali di questo viaggio che porteremo sempre tutti nel cuore. Un arrivo adrenalinico che richiederà strategia meteo e arguzia per scegliere la finestra di arrivo giusta, il percorso giusto e la rotta migliore per non rimanere nè senza vento nè prenderne troppo. Solitamente si augura buon vento, qui il buon vento dobbiamo andare a prendercelo noi. A.
