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

Alvor

Image
 Alvor is always a good spot. Unfortunately we already had haules LinoCat out and so stayed in a hotel in Alvor.  The weather was beautiful, just some nice clouds and we also noticed that the nights were becoming colder.  We love the restaurants and enjoyed Monkfish Kebab, Swordfish, Golden Brem and other stuff from the charcoal grill  The colors are so cooool!  Yummy! Walking around in the town and just enjoying a Galao (coffee with milk) here and there is the ultimate relaxation before it gets back to work.

Lani gets a new hair cut

Image
 I went to the hairdresser today and Lani said she wanted a new haircut too!  So there was the oppurtunity to get rid (or at least reduce) the daily fight with washing, combing, drying and so on.  First she was watching me getting the hair cut and i was almost sure she would chicken out but NO! She told how long she wanted the hair to be and off they go.... The floor was full of long blond princess hair :-)  Since we did not have a camera with us we had to use the mobile phone.... And here is the new hair cut. Well not dry yet but looked really sweet! Let´s see if tomorrow she wants her long hair back :-)

Lagos to Portimao

Image
Lani enjoyed the day out. Maybe because there was no wind and so there were also no waves. We decided to do a dolphin watch tour and just headed out of Lagos south.  Enough time for some swimming and jumping...  And more jumping and swimming. The water was really cold since the wind was blowing all the warm water away and we were at the edge of the deep-water zone where the deep water flows upwards.  Roger shot more than 1000pictures this day. I only had my small Lumix with me. I might post some of his shots later.  The first dolphin encounter was with a mother and her little one. They played around us for around 10 minutes.  The little one  was very keen to show us some jumps and seemed to have fun doing so. ..playing around our bow...  They have left us when we stopped the engines for a swim.  On the way back we had a bigger school of dolphins around us.  Then we reached Portimao and went to the swimming pool for some afternoon swimmi

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 :-)
