Alone with 15 to 20kts

A simple single handed day with reasonable winds and the camera running all the time. It does surprise me how much I learnt about all the things I was missing when sailing after watching the videos, these will become more of a part of sailing from now on because there is a lot to be […]

Light winds but video

Very light day with Denis with almost no wind at all but we managed to creap around and both enjoyed a relaxing day on the water. After having the boat for now over a year and the video camera for many years and them being together a lot, this was the first time they actually […]

A strange day out

This was a very strange day out with a friend who’s sailed a little before but not for many years so basically it was me single handed again which I love. Once unwrapped there was very little wind without too much being forecast but Galerne was ready to go and so we decided we would […]

Panels fit for speed

As mentioned within “Changing the electrics” I needed to make some new electrical panels for the boat once the changes that had been planned because it would have been almost impossible to alter the old ones and anyways with the changes I was thinking about it also allows for a future proof

Changing the electrics

On the delivery trip we had a few issues with the electrics and when I looked at the back-end it just seemed a mess but in fairness it has had a few extras added since it was first commissioned and most haven’t been added very well. We had real issues with the tillerpilot but only […]

First Bottom cleaning

Just a short update to say thank you to a friend who kindly checked our bottom and even cleaned it as seen in the video you will see that after six months there is very little growth. We will keep an eye on what happens over the next six months but so far I’m very […]

With all the Covid19 issues surrounding life at the moment, time on the water is either restricted through not even being allowed or being allowed but not with others! I’ve trying to arrange a trip out with a couple of very good friends who in fairness don’t want to go for miles as they would […]

Day out with a friend

Denis is a good friend that skippers a Lagoon 62 and has been back in Cyprus for a couple of weeks and although we managed to get down to the boat for a first look we haven’t been able to get out until today. The weather forecast didn’t look very good at all today but […]

Leaving day

Having been in France now for ten days we are ready in ourselves to leave and we have done most if not all of the jobs I felt we needed to do before taking on a 1500Nm tips. There are some things we haven’t managed to get fixed or ready but we have mitigated them […]

Victualling & Sights

We’ve been doing a few recce runs through the supermarkets to see what we want to eat and came across some ambient temperature TV dinners and although we don’t have a TV we thought because these are cook in simmering water they seemed worth trying. We’ve now tried two which one can only say were […]
