Elektra - unexpected nightly encounter



During the night hours something popped up on AIS that was moving at over 30 knots.. :)

All-in-all going well here on Elektra. Caught a Mahi-mahi W of Cabo Verde and have been having BBQs in the sun with cold beers while surfing along at 15+ knots. Battery SOC is stable as we are regenerating daily during times when we have good boatspeed. Solar covers our cooking and laptops etc charging. Our performance have been slightly hit by tack getting worn out due to poor finish on the metal ring of the tack of the big spinnaker. Luckily noticed before it got completely loose and changed to the smaller spi which we were thinking of relying on anyway in the stronger winds that we’re anticipating.

We are still unsure if the radar is functioning correctly as there’s not much to get a reflection from.

ELEKTRA over and out.
