Hi guys

Ava and I had another short week. Friday morning, we headed to London to spend the weekend with Ava's sister to celebrate her birthday. I did manage to get the Yacht Router Mini working. There was an issue with the WiFi booster. That got resolved while the video was rendering. We'll save all of the long-range communication stuff for next week so we can do the installation and test in one video. If you're interested in one of Locomarine's products, I have a handful of 20% discount codes. Send me a message, and I'll send you one :)

This week was mainly about planning and with long-range WiFi and cellular. We have made good progress. We have found the floor we want to install, and we have found a source of Sunpower 400W panels for the arch.

Next week we have TecSew swinging by to take a look at the boat so they can quote os for some canvas work (dodger extender or potentially full enclosure). We'll also start talking to sailmakers to get quotes for new sails. I'm waiting to hear back from the rigger regarding leading our main furling line back to the cockpit.

I better get back to the birthday fun :) Thank you so much for your support! Have a fantastic weekend! Stay safe :)

Sail Life - To do list for the winter & HMS Warrior

Join us for a quick run-through of the upcoming projects for this winter and a tour of our next-door neighbor HMS Warrior (launched in 1860). NB We had a bunch of footage of installing the long-range wifi but hit a last-minute snag and couldn't get the wifi booster to work. That issue was solved while rendering the video. We'll start next week's video by installing and testing the Yacht router mini and Wifi booster :)
