Dear seabirds,
Our boat is called Lomvi which is a seabird. Google them landing and you will laugh!
How are we today? We are good! Hjalmar is building all the lego. Line baked buns, Niko is doing the dishes and Kasper is reading all the manuals about the electrical system.
We took a shower today for three reasons. To keep it clean and don't be mean and to empty one of the water tanks. Listen to don't be mean by Laid back from Copenhagen and you will enjoy at least 3 minutes of today!
We need an empty water tank because our watermaker is found ready to face its greatest challenge in our painful time together, filling up the water tank!
Pretty much every part of this second hand watermaker is changed. We have emailed around 96 emails back and forth with Spectra's impressive technical support. Kasper has yet to obtain a degree in watermakery, but he is close. Machine is running, and by the end of the day we might have a tank full of drinkable water.
Sound to good to be true? We think so too. Combining making water with issues with the electrical system might be a recipe for having to read even more manuals. But the sun is shining, we might have a solution for the batteries, we believe it a configuration problem.
Skip this part if you don't find 12 volts to be the most interesting of the volts.
Our battery monitor, from victron, is programmed with a discharge floor of 50%. Its a default that we believe is set for acid batteries. When we have used around half of our 400 amp hours, the voltage drop to just over 10. We can set the discharge floor to anything between 1 and 99. We will try to lower it and see if that solved the problem. If you have any thought or solutions to this, please email
[email protected] Back to the ocean, which is what you probably want to hear us preach! Waves and wind is straight on to our stern. 1 to 2 meters high and long di dong periods. Sun shines though a veil of mackrell clouds. Temperature is medium rear and the wind is hot airbalong sightseeing conditions.
Niko had a flyfish, if that's what they are called in English, flying through his window this morning.
We are eating alot of fruit, to keep healthy and to consume these gems of nature before they turn into a state of kamikaze capitalism, or rotten if that is the term you prefer.
Maybe three days left before land o'hoi. We believe that the hollowing whispers at night is the cold Cape Verde beer calling for us.
Don't forget to read about universal basic income today.
A jet plane of comfortable is flying in your direction!
