a tough day at sea

Tough because some got seasick despite the lack of waves. So we had a good reason for sunbathing, swimming, eating and relaxing.

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...

Finally a scuba dive

Image
Even an unwanted one..... We anchored near lagos for a swim at one of the beaches which you can only reach via boat. When we wanted to get the anchor up i realized that it was stuck completly. Should we call for a scuba diver? NO WAY! So we opened the compartment with the diving gear and i got a 10L tank with a backplate and a wing out. Of course one o-ring failed on one of the regulators but this was fixed quick. Then i only had the turtlefins which are HUGE so i put on one pair of my boat shoes in them. The sailing gloves and a fishing knife and the old topping lift line should do as tools. The idea was to install a trip line on the anchor and pull it out from the other side. Maybe with the Dinghy. But when i decided i felt at home. I had a BIIIIIIGGGG smile doing my first dive after 3years. Visibility was around 6-8m and some small fish were around. The anchor was jammed under a rock plate but i could move it out and it digged into the sand. Back up to the boat, anchor up and off we...
