    Electrical update

    So today Robin (the yard manager at Berthon) sent an update regarding our eletrical system upgrade. Our old system has now been stripped out and the work to install the new, more energy efficient Victron system is being planned. This should help us manage our onboard energy usage more closely and provide one integrated system. A side benefit is that the new system should also be a lot quieter, hopefully we can finally get rid of our noisy step-down transformer on the incoming supply. Right now there is a crazy rush at the yard for everyone to get their boats on the water at Easter so, as as we are not in a rush, things are running a bit slower with our projects.

    Swiss gifts

    Lets get ready to bake

    Maintaining a happy crew is paramount when crossing oceans, after all who wants to end up being cast adrift in the South Pacific in a rowing boat, especially if your name is "Christian"? Key to happiness is food, and I (and our friends) enjoy something sweet. Fortunately Jen loves to bake so the problem is partly solved. I say partly, because if you have ever tried to cook anything in a typical yacht (or even caravan) oven, you will know that it has two temperature settings....on, or off! To be fair though, Jen did once manage to cook a full Christmas dinner for 5 in a typical yacht oven. Anyway, it just so happened that at the London Boat show earlier this year we met Julian from GN Espace
