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 😉

Steve turned off the tractor for an afternoon to talk about building the very first pair of Kindred skis. Steve is a skilled storyteller. He seems to know exactly when to pause, when to exaggerate, and exactly when to tell a joke. This ability to draw people in and make them laugh is especially useful in the hospitality industry. You see, Steve and his wife Carolyn run Two Eagles Lodge Bed and Breakfast just South of us in Union Bay. Like many home-based-businesses owners, this couple does it all. Carolyn masterfully orchestrates the business and is logistics manager of the steady rotation of guests while Steve is maintenance man and groundskeeper. When it comes to guest experiences this is where Steve’s hospitable nature and gift for storytelling shines. Who doesn’t want a host who keeps the mood light, and primes you for making memories by recalling his own adventures? If you need more proof of what us locals already know: that you’d be wise to stay at Two Eagles (once things get back to normal...) check out the miles-long list of accolades on their website. From fresh eggs at breakfast, to sharing local’s knowledge about places to explore, to evenings spent on the ocean-view porch around a crackling fire punctuated by Steve’s stories - these guys make their guests feel truly at home, and have awards to prove it. We’re really thankful for the support Steve has shown our business, from commissioning that first pair of skis to volunteering his time and equipment to help us move our workshop twice over the past 10 years! We're fortunate to have him skiing around on his Kindreds knowing he tells their story - with grinning enthusiasm - to anyone who asks.
