DESPAIR. Unfortunately big money goes out of the window!Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 218
With a shortage of cable crimps and sleeving it all gets a bit desperate to finish the electrics. We then have a bit of a blow when we get the cost for the CE marking for the boat. Apparently we need a Recreational Craft Directive which we didn’t know...
Electrocution Opportunity. The installation of the Victron Energy system. Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 217

BARGE BUILD. Pilot House, how exciting is that? Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 211

BARGE BUILD. Accidents on the building site! Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 210
What a week, Carla gets her thumb caught in the door, Ouch... that hurts! And Simon cut his finger on the circular saw. So yes, luck wasn't really on our side this week. But we have to keep going as we have a lot of work to be finished in the aft cabin!...
