Hi guys!

It's a very busy time here in Skive! I've started shooting the first of two bonus videos. By that I mean videos I can publish while I'm in LA over Christmas :) The video I'm working on right now is about the steering pedestal (a Cobra 4R). I think that's going to be a pretty cool video! :) 

This weekend anti-Santa came early and brought me a bill for a new exhaust elbow. Stupid Santa! *shakes fist*. The funny thing is when I got Obelix that was one of the first things I replaced. Seems that comes with the territory of getting a new USED boat ;) 

Fortunately, regular Santa (in the form of you guys!) also made a visit and dropped off a brand new Panasonic GH5. Soon the videos will not only be 4K - they'll be 4K in 60 fps! Thank you so much for your support guys! It means the world to me! :) With that in my bag, I now have a complete backup on camera gear in case something bad happens. Having redundant gear is very important when I make the switch to being fulltime on youtube :)

As of writing this, there are only 17 days until I leave to spend Christmas with Ava. I'm so excited! I'm also stressed out because there's a lot I want to get done before leaving. Speaking of, I better get back to drawing the new top plate and engine control housing for the steering pedestal ;) It's been a while since I've been this excited to share a project :D 

Have an awesome Sunday guys! :)

Sail Life - Sound insulation & Volvo D2-40 heat exchanger cleaning

This week I finally got to put up sound insulation in the engine compartment! I also take apart the heat exchanger on my Volvo D2-40 to clean it. The expensive surprise of the week is that I need a new exhaust elbow. Dang it! There's still time!

Hey Mads, just a thought, have you considered investing in a set of ratchet ring spanners? I was watching you tearing down the heat-exchanger and that was the first thing that crossed my mind. Because next time that Volvo probably won't be sitting on the cabin sole! All the best from Auckland NZ.

Hi Mads, not sure using a dimmer on the LED’s is a wise move. Recently read an article that the “dinner modules” (probably PWM’s) cause significant RF interference, so much so that reception on VHF and AIS is severely affected. I’ve read also that the use of LED bulbs on the mast head also affects VHF aerials...... Food for thought perhaps??
