I have to apologize for not posting since May. It's been a bit crazy at work, and now I am catching up. SO what has happened since May? Well, I managed to purchase our new wind generator and will mount it in the next week or so. It is a MartineKinetix MK4+ 450 watt generator. Marine beam gives a discount to Island Packet owners.

MK4+ Wind Generator

We removed the the two Anemesco solar panels and have ordered two more. This will give us 360 watts of solar and 450 watts of wind. Here is the arch without the solar panels and awaiting the wind get mount.

I will catch up with the July 2019 sailing trip through the Gulf Islands and put those up soon.

We were out for 1 week exactly.

After 2 years we again take Terratima out of the water and on to the hard for bottom paint, change of zincs, and polishing the hull.

Another piece of sailing gear has been added to Terratima. This is to assist in downwind sailing - a Forespar Whisker Pole.

JORDON SERIES DROGUE

Our latest addition to the safety items on board is a Jordon Series Drogue for bad weather. Here are a few pictures of the drogue as we unpacked it from the box. It was made by Dave Pelissier of Ace Sailmakers of East Lyme Connecticut.
