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!

⚠️ Grosse frayeur à bord de OUALAOUTI aujourd’hui. On a croisé un bateau à très faible distance… sans qu’aucun de nos systèmes électroniques ne le détecte : ❌ Radar ❌ AIS ❌ Alarmes 👉 Ce rappel vaut pour tous : les instruments sont utiles, mais ne remplacent JAMAIS une veille visuelle active. 📍Lieu : Méditerranée – près de LEUCATE 🛥️ Bateau : Excess 12 – OUALAOUTI 🎥 Capté en live, pas rejoué. #voile #securitemer #radar #ais #oualaouti #viedebateau #frayeurenmer #catamaranlife #navigationresponsable

Yesterday we performed a phase out inspection from charter management for the owner. After the inspection on the mooring, a sea trials on engine and sails was carried out, after which the sailboat was taken out. In a few days we will return for a visual inspection of the underwater part, measurement of capillary moisture and inspection with a thermal camera.
