Varekai: November 2012
http://syvarekai.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The search for intergalactic one-ness. When I heard a decent storm was heading my way I checked all the lines, added a couple more springs and went shopping for extra provisions. If I'm going to be kept awake all night with crashing, banging and Armageddon going on outside, then I should make best use of this extra awake time. I ask myself, what would Thora Hird do? Bake a cake surely? Bake a bad ass fucking cake! What could possibly go wrong? I mean, I can do cakes right? Night time revision in the dark.

Varekai: May 2012
http://syvarekai.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
The search for intergalactic one-ness. Finally, out of the marina. Finally, got a sail up. Aaaah, such happy times can only bring expense and misery. Just coming around to land, flaps down. Shortly after the pics were taken, I discovered a loose raw water inlet valve for the engine. Varekai had to be rushed back into the marina the next day, craned out and waiting for me when I got home from work. All pics courtesy of the man with the camera, Gids. Mucho mucho gracias. Getting some miles in. These are st...

Varekai: June 2012

The search for intergalactic one-ness. Funny things you find ont'internet. I just found this ont'internet,. Yachting Monthly See Inside Page 63 February 2012 Zinio Digital Magazines and Books. Yachting Monthly See Inside Page 63 February 2012 Zinio Digital Magazines and Books. Links to this post. A few days ago, when closing the raw water in for the engine (and toilet) the valve turned in my hand. The thread it turned on is before the valve not after it. Which means, boo boos if it leaks. Varekai went st...

Varekai: March 2012
http://syvarekai.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
The search for intergalactic one-ness. Egg bound, jib wiggle and wonderpants. A weekend of two halves, one half shopping at a chandlery for bits to fix my bridle to the spinnaker pole and the other half, sewing. While I was sewing I asked Crew member 2 to make a batter mix that I could make some pancakes with for breakfast. One floating egg out of three, meant one egg was going to be donated to the river life. Crew member 2 spent 10 minutes with a hose pipe washing down boat-proud-neighbours boat. At 2am...

Varekai: The rudder problem
http://syvarekai.blogspot.com/2011/09/rudder-problem.html
The search for intergalactic one-ness. The rudder took me by suprise. I should know to always expect the unexpected, but I wasn't really expecting what I saw when I removed the rudder earlier this year. Clearly action was needed. I wrote to my friends at yachting monthly magazine to see if they knew anyone who would give me their opinion. I wrote to the Dehler owners club too. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Varekai: a bit of fluff
http://syvarekai.blogspot.com/2012/07/bit-of-fluff.html
The search for intergalactic one-ness. A bit of fluff. Forgive me Varekai for I have been unfaithful. A twin hulled mini minx caught my eye for a couple of weeks, but I am back. I promise I wont stray again (for a while). But I have been spoilt and now I expect speeds in excess of 10 knots all the time. Thanks to Mark Ramsden of Grafika-uk.com for sending me this picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me. September 4, 2012 at 9:41 AM. Great artical in Yachting Monthly Jayne.

Varekai: March 2013
http://syvarekai.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
The search for intergalactic one-ness. A long time coming. Yeah That's right. It's been a bloody long time since the last blog post. Its been winter. But now it's spring I can come out of hibernation and let the world know about the latest shenanigans on board Varekai as well as planned bullshittery for 2013. There's a lot going on. Varekai is coming out of the water for spring maintenance. I much I prefer working in the warm. So on the list:. Drop the rudder and check the repairs are still good. The rud...
