Welcome to our real-time Sunday update, hope you all are having a great weekend, and we are sitting on a beautiful beach in the British Virgin Islands! As many of you know, the BVIs were my home base through 8 years of my charter business, and we have just returned for the first time since the islands were devastated by Hurricanes IRMA and MARIA back in September of 2017.. we are here to document how the recovery progress has been going, and then head on our way South before anything sets in this season.. so stay tuned for lots of updates of our travels along the way!
Cheers,
Captain Rick and Crew, Team SSL

Teslong borescope: first test on our sailboat
First test of the Teslong TD450S two-way articulating inspection camera aboard Sophisticated Lady. We were running a hose for our new PureOcean Marine Pro140 watermaker and it kept catching somewhere we couldn't see. So we put the camera in the hole and looked around: it was blocked by foam, an...

Lithium vs lead acid boat batteries
A Redodo 12.8V 100Ah lithium battery against the lead acid battery it replaced in our Highfield dinghy. Nearly the same weight, 2 to 3 pounds heavier, with at least double the capacity. And you only really get to use about half of what's on a lead acid label. The full install and crank test are...
