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!

Giornata in cui le mani non riescono a stare in mano. In barca è così: qualcosa da fare c’è sempre. Oggi i lavori in agenda sono due: impiombare la drizza del gennaker e stringere (più rimettere proprio) alcune viti nel rollafiocco. Nel frattempo succedono cose in cucina: pasta con peperoni, guacamole e vellutate. Di certo l’attenzione posta nella cambusa sta portando i suoi frutti. Speriamo succeda la stessa cosa anche con l’attenzione spesa nell’acquisto di esche e strumenti per la pesca! Oggi un pesce l’abbiamo preso, ma nessun segno di compagnia. Arriverà. L’evento di oggi è una sorpresa: a bordo non sapevamo di essere in 8. Qualcuno di molto tenero si aggirava per le cabine senza farsi sentire. Solo Ale era a conoscenza della sua presenza, avendolo portato senza passaporto. Signore e signori, ecco a voi Giorgio Cataratta. Il nuovo membro dell’equipaggio. Un aiuto che non ci meritiamo, ma di cui avevamo disperatamente bisogno. Ci vediamo domani con nuove avventure e racconti di Giorgio! Ps: Canzone del mitico @andcerrato, sempre con noi ❤️

The Scandinavian marine industry produces boats that are practical for its own distinct waters, which just happen to be extremely popular elsewhere as well.
