Heading out for my real first trip on my 1973 Albin Ballad (more on my blog http://syobelix.blogspot.dk). Got three friends along for the first day. It was great fun. Sorry about the poor camera work - still learning.
Obelix is a 1973 Albin Ballad (30 ft sailboat).
Please excuse my english. I hardly ever get a chance to use it and as a result it's ..erhm... "not that great".

This is going to be my second attempt at anchoring overnight. The first attempt was a complete failure! I'm using a Roca 15kg and have a rode composed of 5 meters of 8 mm chain and 50 meters of 16 mm nylon rope. There will be almost no wind (between 1 and ...
Sadly I need to attend a funeral and therefore I need to head back to Sønderjylland (southern part of Jutland). I'm not going to make it all the way to Norway this year. That had originally been my plan. While under way there was issued a near gale warnin...
Leaving Aarhus and heading west.
Anybody interested in the Alado headsail reefing and furling system can find more information here http://www.alado.com/. I'm in no way affiliated with them.
I'm in the process of getting my dog accustomed to being aboard Obelix (an Albin Ballad, 30 ft sailboat). Jökull is a three year old Icelandic sheepdog. He hasn't spent very much time aboard so he's still a little stressed out while aboard.
I'm in the process of making a new synthetic teak cabin sole (the floor in a boat) using isiteek for my Albin Ballad (sailboat). This is part 1 of 3. http://www.isiteek.com/

Finally I get to light the stove!
Update: Apparently what I experienced is quite common. The first time the stove is lit too much diesel can enter the burn chamber and cause the stove to get very hot. The stoves are designed to handle this heat. The fact t...
The guys at Refleks fixed my diesel stove (Refleks 66). It's finally working like it's suppose to.
