At one point, we noticed the anchor light wasn’t working. Apparently, after six years the battery was dead. We were able to buy a spare anchor light, and I went up the mast to replace it. The first time, we thought it would be easy—just replace the light or the battery—but it turned out that more work was needed. The anchor light had to be unscrewed and the two wires had to be reconnected in the terminal block. And all of that at 22 meters up, right on top of the mast. After some instructions from Gilles, I went up the mast again, this time bringing tools along in the side pockets of the “chair” (bosun’s chair) in which you’re hoisted up. It worked, and the anchor light was shining brightly again at the top of the mast!

Pretty much what it sounds like. Learn how to take a color image and make it black and white for use in the inside pages of the paper.

I will pick up my new passport this afternoon and then we'll be on the road to Washington to have a look at the boat I want to buy. It is a really cool story...I can't wait to tell it. Also a little reinforcement of what this channel will be about. Wild food, fly fishing, traditional bowhunting, foraging, and campfires in the backcountry...but home will be a sailboat! Should be interesting, definitely wild...John Schneider's Wild Life!

🌿⛵ Sailing through serenity... A traditional sailboat glides between towering limestone islands, mirrored in calm green-blue waters. Mist rolls gently over the cliffs — nature’s own masterpiece. 🌫️✨ #SailingDreams #LimestoneIslands #PeacefulWaters #NatureVibes #LoveSailing #OceanMagic #IslandEscape

Wind changed overnight to a strong southern breeze and after a mooring ball failed a yacht hit the reef and sank in from of me in seconds... So sad..
