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!

Per chi non ci conosce ancora, siamo Andrea e Camilla, l’estate passata ci siamo trasferiti a bordo della barca di famiglia nella quale, fino a ora, avevamo navigato nel mediterraneo. L’11 agosto abbiamo mollato gli ormeggi da Lignano Sabbiadoro, in Friuli, per iniziare un viaggio incredibile. Abbiamo percorso tutto il mediterraneo, da est a ovest, fino a Gibilterra. Già solo fino a qui (Cadice) ne sono capitate da scriverci un libro. Domani si apre il secondo capitolo di questo viaggio. Se è vero che più si va avanti e più si raccolgono tesori, noi sentiamo il cuore che scoppia di ricchezza. Non è che l’inizio. Con il cuore, a domani ❤️ Cami

Enjoy our new food feature, where we give up to 5 Seagulls for some places to eat within walking distance of marinas. This one always provides piping hot food, a choice of beans or tomatoes, as well as a choice of white or brown toast. Check out the Lock Gates for breakfast if you are ever in Hartlepool marina. We give it a 5 SEAGULLS rating. 😋 #sailinglife #foodiefeature #liveaboards
