S/Y King Malu: July 2015
http://kingmalu.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Current location for King Malu. Saturday, 18 July 2015. To Zygi. well not quite! As it turned out, the winds were light. For the first few hours it was 2-4 knots so we motor sailed. It's an algorithm we call 'snudge' on the electric drive, where we give it a tiny kick and it really helps so with 8-10 amps on the electric drive we were sailing at 4 knots in 4 knots of wind.

http://kingmalu.blogspot.com/2015/07/back-in-water.html
Current location for King Malu. Thursday, 2 July 2015. Back in the water. Yes, King Malu is back in the water! You can see the new swimming platform on the stern. We're in a new berth now. Not a floating pontoon, but right by the slipway which means that it cannot break in the same way and it's more sheltered. Posted by Richard Fairhead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Current location for King Malu. Sunday, 21 December 2014. Fishing in the marina? No fishing in the marina? That's the harbour-master on the left and Tim on the right.

Current location for King Malu. Tuesday, 24 March 2015. Caulking - step two. Tim and Jacob spent some time watching YouTube videos about caulking teak.

Renewing caulking - step one. Then new caulking and sanding down the teak. Should make King Malu. Look great in the cockpit. Posted by Richard Fairhead. Links to this post. I was v...

Wayfarer Cyprus: New Mainsail
http://wayfarer-cyprus.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-mainsail.html
Friday, 17 July 2015. Today I confirmed the order for a new main sail for Galini. The old one is decades old and is somewhat blown out which makes it difficult to sail in anything but very low winds as it is overpowered. While on the phone to Andy at Crusader Sails. He told me a Wayfarer joke I had not yet heard. When Neil Armstrong step onto the moon he was surprised. a Wayfarer hadn't made it there before him! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sailing in Cyprus. and other things too. On 25 June 2010.
