LITHIUM UPGRADE on our BOAT! ⚡| We Got A Extra Battery

Episode 143 : So the borders are going to start opening up the 1st of October which hopefully means Namibia will be following which means we can leave soon, but first we got some boat tasks to complete because we really don’t want to have to pay double for things we could have gotten cheaper here if we were just more patient.
We got our new battery from BLUE NOVA & boy were we excited. The amount of power we have on the boat is kind of ridiculous right now 🤪 I haven’t seen our batteries drop below 95% since we installed them but we are gonna be thankful once that radar and autopilot have to work non stop for our trek to Namibia.
Check out our solar & battery setup below:

Who knew there was so much work entailed when you just add an extra battery… from changing up our harnesses etc. Ricky however while he was at it added isolators (which we should have done ages ago but just never did) and tidied up our electrical cables and mppt chargers along with their breakers. Everything looks so.. not complicated anymore😆
One of our tasks was to change our existing solid water tank hatches to one that we can actually see through. We opted not to go for water tank gauges because… some times its just less complicated to keep things simple. I had to repair our dinghy as well from that one time we opted to use it as a jacuzzi and pumped it up way to much.. it was a minor tear though on the floor board so nothing a but of pvc glue can’t fix.
See ya next week!!

Sailing Lady Africa
We are a couple from sunny South Africa who decided to buy an old 1991 36.5ft Dean Sailing Catamaran, do a complete rebuild on her and sail the world. We started our boat build in 2018 and completed here in 2020 where we left South Africa and completed an Atlantic Crossing to the Caribbean. Amidst all of this we applied to become US Residents. So follow our journey as we sail the Caribbean and set up a new life in a new country.
