57. Our Liferaft FAILS! I Freedom Family Sailing

Liferaft fails Having caught up with our friends on Pisces 11, we weighed anchor and set off for Gocek. We trouble shoot problems of my flat Bow Thruster battery and then take our liferaft ashore to have its 3 yearly service. It FAILS.. in fact is unservicable so we need to buy another one but at close to $4000NZD its really going to hurt. Thankfully the team at Blues Yachting find us a used newly serviced raft for $1300.. Thanks to our Patreons for helping fund this vital purchase! ( www.patreon.com/freedomfamily ) . Blues Yachting usually have a 7 day turn around but sorted us within the day from their facility in Gocek. They service over 2000 Life Rafts and 2500 fire extinguishers every year. ( www.bluesyachting.com ) . I fix the aft head (toilet) and we head away again towards the North. ...........................................................................
