My one and only the sweetest bum in the whole world.

Going west.
The wind is straight behind, so sailing with genoa only.
Autopilot today is in a good mood, so I'm having a very chilly sailing.
The only question is where to anchor overnight, or go further while autopilot is working. This part of Italy has literally zero shelters from the swell, so staying on anchorage anywhere around might be quite rolly.

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

Changed location to a little bit more convenient one.

Arrived at the anchorage at Majorca.
Tailing Mistral wasn't the best idea. Short swell over 2 meters, sometimes 4+, autopilot wasn't working, falling into error with the every other wave, so 26 hours of manual steering.
Moreover, the wind was very unstable and since my friend got severe sea sickness, we didn't use sails much. So half-tank of diesel is burned away.
Anyway, first 130 miles done.

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

Huge boat, old small boat, ancient tower and the dog doing dog things. :)

The most luxurious thing in the world — falling asleep staring at Milky Way. Every day.
I am so happy to have that.
This photo is named "Sobakobulochnoye izdelie #2". For everyone interested, it's a word-play, can't be translated directly, but consider it calling a dog a warm fluffy bun in a form of a dog.

So, AC-DC shore power charger is gotta be replaced.
Voltage regulator for the alternator — too. Or change the alternator to the proper one for the lifepo batteries type.
So far I disconnected the alternator from the service batteries. Hoping I'll have enough sun while gathering money for all these replacements.
Life with 400Ah battery bank on this boat is great. I'll have to extend it later, when I change the inverter and switch cooking from propane to induction, but for now it's at least twice as much as I need for two days.
Solar panel charge batteries back to full even before 10 am and then just keeps them topped.
Moved to a less crowded location with a better view to Ursa's paws. :)
