Taking a short interlude from the water maker to go back the alternator saga! The phone rang early on Monday morning, more precisely it went to the voice-mail at 5.40am. And by 6.40am, I was on the road already returning my call! I then discovered later I was speaking with Rob the support gentleman for [...] Two big arrivals today on Letitgo, one with no stress and one with just a little more spice but all have to do with power. We received our asymmetrical spinnaker from voyager sail, first of all I would like to thanks Dale. During the entire process, his communication was perfect answered all question in [...]
Planning was perfect, sunny and warm for January in the PNW. We have now two anchors setup one with 100ft of chain plus 100 ft of rope, and the main one with 250 ft of chain.

A monthly recurrence in our household it seems… On a technical point for the AIS, we have discovered [...] We were supposed to leave for the long week-end, but life decided otherwise. And in order to compensate, I did a run to Letitgo, while *V* finished a sewing project. A few maintenance items needed to be done for the winter. For the record : winterization of the outboard engine (the holding vice was seized [...] On Saturday afternoon as the phone rang we were reminded kindly of what we were missing! Indeed, our friends are now down to Cabos and wanted to share with us a piece of sunshine via a phone call. It was really lovely of them, we spoke with everyone onboard, and virtually shared a glass of [...] No sailing today for us, after some serious wind for a couple of days, 20 knots in the marina. Today was elected to be replacement of the VHF antenna day. Not so fast was the response from Mother Nature, the sun is not out and it is getting rather chilly out there… Which evidently puts [...] |
