Boat Upgrades to Commence

This week will see the start of the boat upgrades I am making for the trip. The auxilliary engine, a DF6 kindly supplied by Suzuki Marine UK, will be the first and I am planning on doing sea trial with that later this week.

I have now settled on the fuel issues and I will be carrying 3 x 30 ltr outboard fuel tanks. However, only 2 of them will be full and carried with me en-route. The other one being used for refuelling only. These will go in next week too.

I will post here the results of the sea trials with the DF6… looks interesting to see what my speed will be!

Change to Leg 1 - Now going to Newlyn

I have changed the stop off port for leg 1 from Penzance to Newlyn.

Firstly Newlyn has H24 access making my arrival/departure times much easier and I am hoping that I will get to meet many people to demo MOB Guardian.

Newlyn and Penzance are so close it has made almost no difference to the passage plan/fuel requirements.
