More progress towards connecting nearly 2.5kw of solar to our three 48V battery banks. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.p... Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

We’re heading out at night to get to our next destination by morning. There is something magical about sailing at night. The darkness envelops everything around you, and the only light comes from the stars above and the moon reflecting off the water. The gentle sound of the waves lapping against the boat and the sails periodically luffing create a peaceful and serene atmosphere. As you sail into the unknown, there is a sense of adventure and excitement. You never know what lies ahead, but you trust in your skills and the boat to guide you safely through the darkness. It's a feeling of freedom and liberation, leaving behind the worries and stresses of everyday life and embracing the mystery of the open sea. The beauty of sailing at night is not just in the scenery but in the experience. It's a time for introspection and reflection, a chance to disconnect from technology and connect with nature. The darkness allows you to see the stars in all their glory, a reminder of the vastness of the universe and our place within it. Facing the unknown can be scary, but it can also be exhilarating. Sailing at night is a perfect metaphor for life itself, full of unexpected twists and turns. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and our abilities, to face our fears head-on and overcome them. It's a reminder that even in the darkness, there is beauty and wonder to be found. Sailing at night is a truly unique experience that allows us to disconnect from the world and connect with nature. It's a time for introspection and reflection, a chance to face the unknown and embrace its beauty. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and our abilities, and to find the courage to navigate through life's challenges. So, next time you have the chance to sail at night, don't hesitate to embrace the mystery and let the beauty of the unknown guide you. #sailingexperience #sailingadventure #sailinglife
