Trying to make it happen!

After all, we took 3 month off from work. Really not common, but we work for one of the best companies, and were allowed to stay away from work for an extended period of time. Thank you!!!

When we got here by the end of February, we had a long list of projects, which needed to be completed, before we will feel ready to cross to the Bahamas:
- installing a Martek dinghy davit system
- installing a Xantrex 600W pure sine wave inverter
- installing beefier battery charger cables and new 80Amp fuses
- changing back to the 60Amp battery charger
- installing a tv-set (we know..., but we love to watch a movie from time to time)
- replacing the aft macerator pump
- installing a 285W solar pannel including a MPPT controller

After a week, we have completed many of the projects already. Today we went to Ft. Lauderdale, buying the material for the solar system. Tomorrow, we will try to install the system and see, how it works.

Before we are ready to cast off, a lot of provisioning will be needed as well. Weatherwise, it seems like we will get a weather window for the crossing on Monday 03/14.

There is another boat, likely to be our buddy boat for the journey to the Abacos. So the remaining days will e busy for us. But hey, we are looking forward to the clear water of the Bahamas, so this should be worth every effort!
