I am sailing

now where was it we were going??
A 6 hour trip with the wind on our beam (what little there was)
Flat sea, blue sky. Lovely. My type of sailing :)

looks nice from out at sea
Passing Carvoeiro which, frankly, is the best thing to do.

even Mike is relaxed (relatively speaking of course)
wonder which code flag this is?? (sailing joke)
read carefully, this is the science bit...
This is our solar panels and wind generator which are very important because they provide us with electricity to charge our computers to go on the internet hahaha
Seriously, we only used to have the wind generator (which is very good and quiet in operation, unlike many) and Mike installed two 50 watt solar panels last winter to boost our power. They have worked very well this trip and were well worth investing in  (£100 each off Ebay). We don't want to have to run our engine too often for power, not with the price of fuel as it is nowadays.

Coming soon.....Ringer goes native!!
