Episode #233 : Upgrading the battery bank on an Alberg 30.

Hello friends,

On this episode we got into the big lithium LiFePo4 conversion replacing the aging AGM led acid batteries with Dakota Lithium Batteries. I made previous video talking about our partnership with Dakota Lithium and outlining the benefits of Lithium that you can see here :

I replaced our 200ah AGMS with 400ah of Lithium in anticipation for the all electric galley conversion I am in the process of doing (that will be featured in a future episode).

I also cover how to make your own custom battery cables in this video using 4/0 cable, hydraulic crimpers and heat shrink.

Our sail between the Strait of Messina and Spain was spent dodging weather while we sped towards a safe harbor from the incoming winds!

We managed to seek shelter from Storm Denise in a protected bay in Mallorca, one of the Spanish Balearic Islands. As it hit during the night we experienced pelting rain and winds that exceeded 50 kts, despite being surrounded by hills.

Episode #182 - Water Heater Install

Hello Friends,

In this video I will explain to you how to install a water heater on a boat that he never had a water heater installed. I found a number of videos out there that showed how to replace a water heater but none that showed how to install one and plumb it to your engine.

I hope this makes your life easier than mine was when I was searching for this information . We are loving having hot water onboard.

Following the launch of their 50 footer in 2021, Windelo launched their second model, the Windelo 54, which further develops the innovations of the smaller catamaran..

Yacht Designers Christophe Barreau and Fréderic Neuman have over a meter more to play with in this bigger multihull. Half of this is in the nacelle, which has given them the freedom to increase the comfort and 40cm is in the bow.

There is more performance, more options on configurations and higher comfort levels, all with the eco design and modest carbon footprint of her smaller sister. We enjoyed an extensive test sail on Zig Zag. Thanks to the Windelo Catamarans team.

In this episode GETTING HARDER IN PARADISE I'm sharing my concern about the fact not everyone handles lockdown well and the obvious side effects. 1:38 - When sailors starts calling the Coast Guard on neighbors and do Neighbor Watching its a dangerous path into a world that only few not so good regimes appreciates. In difficult times we should help each other and be kind. Not being racists and shaming sailors on social media. I wanted to spotlight last weeks shocking experience but also explain our reason for again going into a marina.

Its not all bad as we are staying positive and Im even babysitting my friends kids this week with lots of fun. Sharing my week as realistic and up to date as possible while we enjoy another beautiful piece of Grenada.
I`m very thankful for being a guest on this Island and it's still among my favorite destinations. And its not hopeless as we can still get things done during the week. Its only the weekend lockdowns that's a bit boring.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I`m sailing sailing around the world in my Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever I have time for it. Most of the time I sail singlehanded but occasionally I do have sailing friends onboard. Still in the Caribbean due to Covid and was supposed to be in Asia by now.

Even though this is season 3 on youtube I have already sailed 4 seasons full time but did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I have sailed several seasons in the Med prior to this, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I have been traveling the world before and also been an active regatta sailor. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and been sailing ever since.

PLEASE BE KIND IN THE COMMENTS!
I'm just a normal person sharing my travel adventure through my eyes and experience from my perspective! Remember how I do things might work for me but not for you. It might even not be the correct way to do things, and I don't have the blueprint either. I'm not perfect and nobody is. The day I believe I know it all and don't think I can learn new things I should go ashore.

Just days before our planned departure from Gibraltar we discovered a problem with our standing rigging that may have needed to be addressed before we could cross the Atlantic Ocean. But a well-timed Happy New Year email from Leopard Australia set in motion events that led to ZSpars coming to our boat, checking our mast and teaching us about our rigging and how to tension it correctly. We want to share what we learned that day with you.

To see the rig settings for yourself head to https://www.travelsketchsailin....g.com/leopard-catama

Thank you to David at Leopard Australia, Remi and Jean Gui (Absolute legend 😎) from ZSpars and anyone else who was involved in the visit – it was a great day!

Keep in mind we were not asked to do this video by Leopard or ZSpars. We value people sharing their real experiences and felt that it served the sailing community to share our positive experience and the information ZSpars gave us which can help other sailors and live aboard cruisers.

It's a popular sailboat but is the Halberg Rassy really an Ideal family 40 or more of a dream boat for a couple, as Manus Rassy says his sailboats are set up for push-button sailing so life onboard is better, safer and therefore a more enjoyable experience. Could you live with a Halberg Rassy?

Excerpt from "Alone Across An Ocean" video : https://youtu.be/1AZXXKj0p0s

This footage was so wild I wanted to make this short "stand alone" video for anyone who wanted to share it but didn't want to have to share the long format episode it was taken from.

As noted above this clip is from my video documenting my solo ocean passage from Los Angeles to Hawaii.

Location: 22 14.036n 154 19.919w

I have only just started learning how to fish and I think my knot failed rather than the 30lb test leader breaking. I had one other Cedar Plug onboard but didn't want to risk losing it knowing I had no clue what I was doing and might need it incase of emergency.

I had more than enough food onboard so I was fine.

The Marlin and fish stayed with me for two days and the Blue Fin tuna stayed with until I approached Oahu. They would stay close to my hull and only zip out to eat then return to the hull for safety.
