MAN over board!!! No, actually TWO! Well almost...







We almost had 2 tragic losses today. One was one of my clark shoes which was kicked over board during a sail maneuver.
We had all sails up and so i pressed the MOB button on the chart plotter, we got the sails down, started the engine and turned around. 15 Minutes later we really found the shoe.
BUT THEN: a bikini top was missing and so we searched again and found it.

This was a good test and really fun too. After that we had a nice swim and a good sail.
We cam back to Portimao and were lucky to get a berth since there is the Audi med cup regatta going on.

3000km with the Triumph 1200 XE

Image
 Gestern erreichte ich 3000km mit der 1200 XE, sie ist also nun quasi "gut eingefahren". Das Mopped macht mir Spass, ist kein Leichtgewicht, weil eben alles aus Metall ist, was nach Metall aussieht und mein Po schmerzt mir erst nach ca 3h.  Ich habe das Bluetooth-Modul nachruesten lassen und verwende es zusammen mit den SENA Komponenten in meinem Helm. Manchmal ist es etwas nervig, bis man alle Devices in der richtigen Reihenfolge gekoppelt hat. Aktuell verwende ich den Schuberth C5 und das neue Sena SC2 direkt mit dem Galaxy S22 gekoppelt. Damit umgehe ich das BT Modul der Scrambler, werde das aber wieder umstellen. Die 3000km waren unspektakulär, lediglich die Batterie des Moppeds machte bereits schlapp. Selbst ein überbrücken war nicht möglich, da die defekte Batterie hier dazwischenfunkte. Eine Yuasa YTS10S gibt es fuer ca 80EUR im Onlinehandel und diese kommt bereits vorgeladen, man kann also quasi direkt starten. Als Tasche habe ich an der linken Seite die SW-Motech Leg...

New blogger software version

Image
It is nice to have the sails up. They could use a wash though and the mainsail has a very small hole which could be repaired. This blog entry has been done with the new version of blogger. I am curious how it will work out. Entry to Lagos. You have to request the opening of the drawbridge via VHF radio on channel 9. Positive sideeffect: it is difficult to steal a yacht from this marina. Especially at night when the drawbridge is not operated :-)
