We sail from Kekova to Kas in Turkey this morning, we leave early to catch some favourable wind and are treated to a beautiful sunrise 😍 and we finally have a sunny day! Unfortunately no wind in the end though so we end up motoring the whole way, plus our autopilot is currently broken so we hand steered today, but none the less we’ve had a beautiful day around Kas

After sailing 32,500 nautical miles around the world I want to give a shout out to my two loyal and exceptional crew members. They never talk back to me, require feeding or fall asleep on watch. In a perfect world they would make cups of tea and wash the dishes but I can't complain. The Aries windvane has kept Fathom on course in all sorts of conditions from 5knots of wind to 50knots of wind, flat seas to tumbling waves, upwind and downwind. I couldn't have got this far without it and have spent many hours watching it do its business without complaint using no electricity and only the power of the wind, a truly fantastic piece of engineering. Secondly the Aquair 100 tow gen. The generator is mounted on the pushpit and the forward motion of the boat spins a metal propeller at the end of 20m of rope. In winds over 15kts the drag created is unimportant and in tandem with the solar panel it keeps the batteries full and the fridge going 24/7. Cheers to both!

The persistent anxiety surrounding vessel maintenance expenses is often overstated. A direct comparison can be drawn to standard automotive care: the cost difference between paying a shop for an oil change and performing the service yourself is significant. The same principle applies here. When we undertake tasks like annual hull painting and comprehensive engine servicing, the resulting fiscal preservation is substantial. For instance, the material cost for two gallons of necessary coating is currently around $230. That annual expenditure is a fraction of what professional labor charges. #OwnerQandA #YachtMaintenance #CustomYacht #BlueWaterYacht #YachtRefit #LuxuryYachtTour #YachtLens #PacificNorthwestYachts #BoatWalkthrough #RobinsonModifiedMonk #ExpeditionYacht #UnitedYachtSales #TrawlerYacht #ElizabethRuth #YachtMaintenance #BoatCosts #DIYBoating #VesselUpkeep #SaveMoney #BoatLife
