All at sea – a blog about boat repair, sailing and cruising the high seas.
I know I said I wouldn’t discuss the pain and difficulty of transferring a boat from one registry to another, but I think it’s worth it in the vague chance someone else has to go through the bureaucratic process. I won’t do it right now, though!
This post tells the tale of our relaxing sail from Santo Stefano al Mare in Italy to Valencia in Spain, by way of Saint Tropez and Barcelona. All four locations are very much worth visiting.
Well, things have been quiet on here for the last number of months, but don’t think we’ve been sitting around, daydreaming. Quite the opposite, in fact.
So, this has been a long time coming, but I didn’t want to say anything until I was sure. Last week, the surveyor completed his survey of what will very soon be my very own Hallberg Rassy 352! She is currently on the hard in a yard in Imperia, Italy. This was so the surveyor could complete his task. Her current home berth is a marina in Santo Stefano al Mare in Italy. Over the course of the next year to eighteen months, she will make her way to Ireland.
So, another word (or thousand) on batteries, following on from Part One. This time the focus is on LFP batteries. We have pretty much exhausted the conversation on lead acids! I mean, my previous post on this subject was over 4,000 words long. This one will be shorter because we’ve covered the basics already.
I have a decision to make. Work on the Achilles has slowed to a standstill for a variety of reasons. Do I continue, or do I get on with my life and direct my sailing attentions elsewhere? Neither alternative is particularly ideal. Let me explain, why.
