What!?! Back at it again?!
Just summited Rinjani ( so that project done, finally) almost done with a long long session of getting Whakaari ready to go again, and so looking forward to pushing off, sailing once again! Whakaari hasnt yet forgiven me for over two years of Covid abandonment but she is straining at her moorings, saying we are good to go- having removed a hideous collection of growth above and below water, replaced the entire battery bank, rewired and replaced endless amounts, including controllers, breakers, etc, rebuilt the dinghy, taped up UV damaged bimini, dodger, furling UV layers, blah blah. And every single zipper or zip is ruined! Meaning lots of Speedy Stitcher hours. The compressors for the reefer and the hookah systems both corroded and now in the bin, no cooler til Oz, and its 32 degrees minimum here every single day. Anyway, too many sad stories , can’t wait to leave this place and head for Home! After Covid Everyone is money hungry and its depressing
Tonite I just fired up the IridiumGo system so comms, tracking, weather via PredictWind all available again aboard, and here: https://predictwind.intercom-clicks.com/via/e?ob=uKvJPP5LVXRuZfDV3Z9fsRdNOupDwAWXbNhHaThKDSzby%2FupwvLjjtqFoYTmhDLz%2BDNP4H9LF%2Beed1S%2BJtJuQg%3D%3D&h=dde2de0b535655e8c82632ed8b634479cd9d350e-smve6uws_130546617281138
