Hugur - Competition in brakedowns. Fishing or lost fishlures.



Saturday 22november. Our 4rth day on leg 2 to St Lucia.

Tomorrow the crowd will start from Las Palmas , the Big ARC.

Well todays news , and maybe an entry to an ongoing competition on the SSB on the biggest (or was it expencive) brake down of gismo on the route to St Lucia.

Our Watermaker had already failed on way Las Palmas –Cape Verdes and we had had tec people from the Marina there ( that state “is it man made – we can fix it “) without result we did not get one of our battery changed neither the watermaker fixed. We had to ask the man to leave the boat 40minutes before the Leg 2 start.

Anyhow then to add on this our Panda the generator also broke down and Kristófer has been working on it constantly for almost two days (counting the night between ) and given it the thumbes down , it will not be fixed on the way over so we need to watch carefully both our water and electricity use. But 500 liters of water should go a long way for 2.

We will need Nicoles help to find a contact in ST Lucia to work out these two issues to be fixed before our start of Leg 3 WORLD ARC in January, as we do not intend to start the world cruise without a working generator or water maker.

Mabe there are some Christmas presents in this all J.

Is not life wonderful , you never have a dull moment , always something at hand to find out of and fix. J

The day on the Atlantic has just been so beautiful and calm (yes maybe a little bit to calm winds for a 14 day passage) Sailing has been so and so both down wind and also some tacking.


All is well on board Hugur. Fair winds.
