Sailing things right

Had to get several oil cans down. Looks like climbing the ladder several times. But me wouldn't be me if I don't recall that there should be a special knot for that.
Sure thing:

The first layer of the new antifouling is done.
One or three more to go (undecided yet).

First one undone. Three to go.
Hell of a sweaty job.

Hauled out. Speaking short — almost everything is perfect.
Starting working on the stuff

Finally I'm not the outlaw anymore. Got the Polish registration.
Here is the moment from the party where I'm changing the flags.

Now this boat is officially named Great A'Tuin.

Hoorah!

Looking at some prices makes me really sad. And this is price at SVB. In Montenegro it's ~x2.

So I went to the hardware store, found there barn hinges, and drew some holes for the M8 bolts.

The last photo is the standard for choosing the conductor size for a certain load.

Even divided by 2 I have a plenty of free current left.

Btw, the total price for a "customised version" is €16, plus 2 hours of time.

Search for the proper bus-bar has zero result so far. Thinking about assembling a "Russian LED" and try not to make it signal until the proper thing was found.

Long delayed teak treatment.
Decided not to sand it down yet. Somehow enjoying surface imperfections.

They sold me a box of sticks to mix the resin for 10 euros and didn't take off the price they bought it for.
How rude.

Another short update on works-in-progress

Reached Corfu.
Sneaked through Albania without checking in.
Got my first ever catch in open waters. Absolutely tasteless fish, but I didn't get poisoned, and Ursa liked it too.

Border control at Corfu is one of the most relaxed I've ever seen.
"Did you pay Tepai tax already? No? Okay, today everything is closed, so go away and return tomorrow with the tax paid. No, you can't stay at customs pier overnight, go to the marina or on anchor. Here is your passport stamp, now you're free to go, just don't forget to pay Tepai, please, it's important".

Tomorrow departing to Preveza.

Surviving summer on the boat. :)

Tbh, even two blowers aren't enough. It's about 37° in the boat and about 70-80% humidity. Making myself wet helps a little for 10 minutes.
The brain is throttled to 25% during the day and by the sunset I'm so exhausted by the heat that I have no other desires except having a beer and just breath out.

New batteries. For the boat and for me.
Hopefully, those for the boat will last longer. :)

More #postcards for another friend.

What is bad luck and how to deal with it.

Long story short: that was the last moment to change all these thru-hulls.
2 out of 4 just snapped out trying to undo them.

I'm blue, dab-di, dab-die

Departed. Next stop — Corfu.

Just found that my autopilot decided that I'm helming manually. :(

Big heatwave came to Montenegro: temps at the shade are around 36°C, "feels like 41", temps at the sun are unmeasurable, since my thermometer has no scale above 45 degrees.
Dog struggles a lot and I'm trying to cool her by watering her from the bucket. Hoping that it helps a little

Okay, I have connected everything and didn't get on fire. Yet.

Things to do:
- check if my dc-dc charger is capable of handling the load
- make sure that the alternator will not release magic smoke on the engine start
- try shore power

It's very hard to get to work with such a bum sleeping like that. :)

A little bit of luck and precise timing to make the best "MiR" boat photo for the friend.

Three-masted vessel — Montenegro navy's flagship "Jadran". Built 1931, started service 1933. Now serves mostly as a floating museum moored to the Tivat central pier and partially as a sightseeing recreational yacht.
