The past couple weeks have been a travel scramble as various customer projects have moved up to their place on the schedule.

A C-drive Install

After dashing south from Brunswick, GA, USA to Le Marin, Martinique, I quickly hopped on a plane back to the states. My destination was Annapolis, Maryland where I supervised the installation of a new C-drive into an Amel 55.

This was a large and complex project that took about a week. Several unexpected issues were encountered, but all were resolved, and the boat has been launched and test run successfully.

Trans Atlantic Delivery

As soon as I return to Karen and Harmonie back in Martinique, it’s time to jump on an Amel 54, and begin a delivery to Virgo, Spain. This is a long trip, about 25 days. We are just into our second 24 hours, and passing north of Guadeloupe.

Any voyage crossing the North Atlantic is a serious undertaking requiring the boat to be autonomous for about three weeks. This boat is well found, and the owner has done an excellent job chasing down issues.

Unusually, this delivery is being done with a total crew of four. A watch schedule of 4 on / 12 off seems a positive luxury.

The Home Front

Karen is on Harmonie in Marina du Marin organizing the projects we have running with the local mechanics. Almost as soon as I get back, we will need to be underway northbound away from the approaching summer hurricanes.
