Another week has gone by and we have made some progress…the liferaft is off being serviced, our fire extinguishers have been checked and approved, a crack in the stern winch has been welded and Irony has new names on the hull. I’ve been working on sewing jobs (new winch covers etc) and Nic is scraping barnacles off the bottom. Unfortunately, after sanding, we are still left with calcium deposits which have eaten through several layers of paint; the only solution is to tackle them one by one. Very tedious and time-consuming. We also have a problem with our Victron inverter/chargers. One has been going into overload and is off being looked at. It’s looking like it’s going to be an expensive fix, if not full replacement, not good news.
Sad, to hear, that you got so many problems. We had ours too this year and are now based in Trizonia, where we intended to just spend a couple of days, but we I (we) came to like this place and there seem to bee a couple of guys that might solve our Engine(starter-) problems after all.
Love CHARISMA+Crew
Sorry for my bad English writing. Apart from that it seems to be easier to comment on your blog as it was previously. Thanks for that as we want to stay in touch with you. Love again CHARISMA+Crew
