A present, The white paper and *V* working hard.

*V* had to go to the top of our world again this week-end, to survey the LED lighting. And in order to save you the trip up the mast for the lagoon owners here are the references : lagoon 380-S2 around 2007,

Anchor light and steaming light – Aquasignal serie 25. For some reasons, [...]

Recipe of the day: A foot pump a la Whale gusher Mark III.

I can say it, I have cut hoses on the boat and drilled holes in the fibreglass. I woke up early and decided to run for the boat on my own. I knew I had a big project that required total concentration and ability to swear out loud. The scenery was serene, I had all [...]

Locked out! Preventive maintenance for Lagoon 380 lock.

We were up early, had a nice breakfast and were just eager and ready to  arrive at the boat. The speed seal had arrived, our day was all planned out it was going to be a productive one! Until… we turned the key in the lock and… nothing! We couldn’t open the door! For the [...]

Easy sail bag opening and backing plates = Check!

Two projects in one day, a good night sleep… We are happy owners/dreamers. Once we had officially sealed the deal and sold our racing cat, it was time to run to our cottage on water! Unfortunately, we arrived later than anticipated and it didn’t sound good for our “to do list”.  Nonetheless we managed to tackle [...]

Sunshine, visits and new installs…. Success!

An air of Spring sparked everybody this Sunday, the sun gets everyone out of the home and puts us in a good mood! Today was a classic example of this statement!

We arrived fairly early at the boat with our “to do list” on hand. I rushed to start the installation of the smart [...]

The jacklines are ready for deployment!

Sunshine and(+) a bit of time equals (=) Simple this is our favorite equation! A run to the boat. *V* was apprehensive, and had a tad under estimated the machine and her human ability to sew some nylon webbing. As usual in no time, she had found a way to make [...]

Photo, new blog and head work.

To explain a bit on our silence these last days, WORK has been on our program… sadly we have to keep at it and cannot spend all our days on the boat! Yet anyways…. So aside from my water slip and slide exercise, this week has been quiet on the boat front. Although let me [...]

3 days hauled out or the romantic week-end in a boat yard.

Another productive day, it is amazing what you can discover when the boat is out of the water. Let see how many holes do we have in the hulls? 6 in one side and 3 in the other, simple answer in itself. 8 accounted for but one is not to be found in the owner [...]

We have a deal, thank you JP and L.

As you can just imagine, we have been biting our nails during those last few days! Deal or no deal? You don’t really want to think about it, but all you do is actually thinking about it! Especially when you are so close…. So there you go we are very happy boat owner, and one [...]

Photo shop or not?

No photo shop is done on this picture, it is not a trick! 

Yet we are in Sunny California… not near San-Fransisco either,  and it is not May or June weather… or may be it is simply our eyes and we are not quite awake yet! But when we openned our curtains this morning this is what [...]
