Update to satellite tracking and puffins.

Ponyo for anker ved Great Saltee.

Just before we left Kilmore Quay, our satellite receiver demanded a software update. Apparently, the update caused it to stop transmitting our position, which I only realized after we had left Kilmore Quay, while we were anchoring off Great Saltee looking for puffins.

I managed to get the receiver to start sending positions again, but it has now started a new journey beginning at Great Saltee. If you click the “Show all tracks” button, you can see both the old tracks and the new ones.

At Great Saltee, Hanne, Regitze and Gustav went ashore by dinghy and got to see lots of puffins. Unfortunately, there was quite a strong current and shifting winds, so Stephan and I had to stay on the boat in case the anchor started dragging.

Lige før vi forlod Kilmore Quay, krævede vores satellitmodtager en softwareopdatering. Desværre fik opdateringen den til at holde op med at sende vores position, hvilket jeg først opdagede, efter vi havde forladt Kilmore Quay, mens vi lå for anker ud for Great Saltee og kiggede efter søpapegøjer.

Det er lykkedes mig at få modtageren til at sende positioner igen, men nu har den startet en ny rejse, der begynder ved Great Saltee. Hvis man trykker på knappen “Vis alle spor”, kan man se både de gamle og de nye spor.

Ved Great Saltee tog Hanne, Regitze og Gustav i land i gummibåden og fik set en masse søpapegøjer. Desværre var der ret kraftig strøm og skiftende vinde, så Stephan og jeg måtte blive tilbage i både hvis ankeret skulle begynde at drive.

From the Isle of Man, we had a short and pleasant trip to Belfast. The sun was shining, the wind was fair, entering the huge harbour went smoothly, and we got an excellent berth right in the centre of the city. From our berth, we could see the very place

Isles of Man

After spending almost a week in Dublin, we saw that there would be a small window in the seemingly never ending streak of low pressure gales coming in from the west and moving easterly across the Irish sea. Weather forecasts said that winds would be up to 8 m/s

Gone, but not forgotten

En: This is a day of grieving, because on the way into the harbour on Isle of Man 🇮🇲 a fender was lost to the sea. It was put on the deck and immediately after letting go, it rolled down and landed perfectly under the railing, from where it rolled directly
