The war of the worlds has nothing on the Sargasso, the stuff is taking over the Atlantic, give it another 20 years and you will be able to walk coast to coast.

The Duogen, the trusty battery charger I have used for 20 years is close to unusable, the weed blocks the propeller, I lift it to clear and the sequence goes on nearly every minute.

We will burning hydrocarbon to sustain the boat in electric, the Hydrovane and additional PV solar are our best investment, what will the pacific bring.

No great highlight today, kettle has had a mk11 tweak, jib has had some protection from lifeline, doctor stroke nurse tried a little ear work on Ed.

More fish needed, or it is tins tomorrow
