It’s almost 4 days since we have had to run the engines, because our panels are doing so well at generating power. We run our water maker every day so that we keep our tanks topped up, it is such a relief not to have to worry about getting water onboard. Because it is reverse osmosis filter, the water is great to drink too, no need for all those plastic bottles. I also ran the washing machine twice today, all powered by the sun.
The only other excitement today was that Rowan got the Snuba (battery powered air for diving) out, to try and find the missing metal, fat collector, cup for the BBQ. He had marked the spot with the Man Over Board buttons, but it was still tricky to find as we swirl around on anchor here. After about half an hour and nearly giving up, he found it very close to the back steps. We are very happy to have it back as it is very messy BBQ without it.
Other bit of good news is that we have sold two of our charter seats to Maurice from Newcastle! 500 Euros a seat for a half hour flight, expensive but the only way home for us English people running away from hurricane season!
Thursday is our release date and we plan to go and do a bit of exploring North of Grenada before we take the boat out of the water on the 29th June. Only slight hiccup is there is a huge storm arriving Wednesday!
Sorry about the endless sunset photos!
Just couldn’t resist this of our Powder Monkey. I wonder what he’s thinking …….. when are they coming home?
