In between Force 11 gales, we finally get caught up on fixing the rats' nest of wiring that comprises our boat's electrics. The job is far from perfect but it is a big, big improvement.

Our last big job before we could go sailing again, was to tackle some of the wiring on the lass. We only tackled from the back of the boat to the control panel, but we added an auto helm, a new chart plotter and removed a whole load of wiring from projects, have started and never completed.

The family came all the way to the Dominican Republic to visit for Christmas and brought with them a valuable care package. Doug, Michal's dad, couldn't wait to dig into the boat. As we show them around, you will get an idea of what it would be like if you ever vacation here.
It's been several months since we've installed the Eclectic Energy D400 Wind Generator and it's time to give you some of our thoughts about it, plus a look under the hood to see how we ran the wiring aboard Paragon.
