Boating & Biking Adventures

🙋‍♂️…my current neighbours…

Feels like a week since Corinna and Rainer from SY Geronimo arrived here in Puerto Calero but actually it is only a few days. Not sure what that tells me but its nice to catch up and spend some quality time together.

One of the million subjects is a Hydrogenerator as we all need to think more green. You can see the SailingGen, one of the models in this market. It is now under order and soon SY Hullu Poro will not only shine with a Hydrovane but also a Hydrogen at its stern to support batterie charge on its max during upcoming longer passages.

Keeping this blog alive once under sail needs power! 😉

⛵️…Sailing a serious ocean…⛵️

Although I have not finished the book yet, it offers an interesting mixture of entertainment and education with a pinch of philosophical moments.

There is good inspiration and balance to understand the seriousness of sailing oceans.

Our adventure continous.

…nice evening @ El Toro…

Enjoyed a nice evening in relaxed atmosphere with excellent food: Elke, Mariesol and Ulli.

🛠…Bow thruster issue…🛠

The bow thruster started playing games with me in Santa Cruz. It was basically dead. As it is the most powerful 12V system we have on board – drawing 650A while in operation – I have highest respect on the same.

My investigation now revealed that simply a cable has fallen off the connector plug towards the controller sitting underneath the relays. The cable lug was still inside the plug and hard to get out but the bare cable hanging next to it. With the help and good advice from Ulli (SY Christina) we managed to reconnect and got the system back alive.

One less on the list! ✅

Fair winds…

PS: Upon arrival in Puerto Calero I got great support from the “marineros”, who helped me to secure the boat safely at the pontoon. Manouvering without the bow thruster is a chapter in itself…

🚴‍♂️…Playa Chica…🌞

On my daily bike trip to PDC I popped by at Playa Chica today.

Accompany doing boat work…

I have seen plenty of fish here in the marina but this sting (?) ray caught my eyes first time cruising along and saying hello. Hope it will not turn up next time I check the propeller.😅

My new view – Puerto Calero

Next to the Varadero yard, organizing the haul out to get the repairs done…what a morning!

🙋‍♂️…morning has broken…🌞
