#shorts This is a little video about JellyBean, our beautiful adopted Maltese who is nearly 17 (we think), and Shane. While editing this video, which is an Ode to JB, I laughed and I cried, got attached to the footage sometimes a bit too much...it is a sweet story about a very tall man and his tiny dog. I hope you enjoy it, Mimi x

Port Havannah, Vanuatu Primary School kids singing "We're Happy Today" as a thank you for the humanitarian aid provided by 2014 Melbourne to Vanuatu International Ocean Yacht Race entrant TryBooking.com, which included blank diaries, writing pads, pens, pencils. folders, reading books, soft toys, tennis balls (used at the Australian Open), clothing and fabric, toothbrush & toothpaste kits, shampoos, soaps, and make-up. Port Havannah is at the Northern end of Efate Island, Vanuatu. The ORCV has conducted three 1,885 nautical mile international yachts races from Melbourne to Vanuatu in 2006, 2010 and 2014. During those events, entrants have filled a shipping container with humanitarian aid that they have distributed to various communities in Vanuatu during their cruising back home.

If you are thinking this, you couldn’t be more wrong! In paid collaboration with @remoranoy We should bust some myths for comments like this one 👆🏽 (Discount code at the end) First of all, people who leave comments like these have probably never been cruising or sailing offshore for extended periods 🤷🏼‍♀️ Right? The stress of seeing your battery state of charge steadily going down is no fun experience, but we have probably all been there? But we are cruisers - not racers! For us, the potential loss in speed is unnoticeable and a very cheap price to pay for knowing that we have a source of energy that works regardless of clouds or if it’s in the middle of the night. The main reason why we like it so much is that it keeps on doing its thing; day and night, mile after mile. It just works! And except from having to clean it from sargasso now and then, it doesn’t require anything and you don’t notice it’s there. For offshore sailing I would say it makes absolute sense to have something like this to take the stress of battery charging off your mind. It’s a great complement to our solar and the alternator on the engine. And as we don’t like the bulkyness of wind generators, this is the only thing that we found suitable. What are your biggest concerns? Do you feel convinced yet that hydro really is a great way of charging your batteries for offshore sailing? Until Feb 28th you get a 5% discount on orders on the Remoran website when using the code LINNEASALE5 at checkout. The code also gives you free DHL standard shipping within the EU. What are you waiting for? Go order your own right now 😉
