A pad-eye for the code... Apart from being exciting, making a stop at the shipyard means having to make lots of decisions. Small and big. Not later, but now. The launching day seems to be coming up faster this year than ever before. Possibly because I am giving the boat I love so much, such a thorough makeover. A pad-eye? Well, the sailmaker is preparing a Code One sail for greater boat speed, which means I need a solid something to attach it into. In front of the forestay. B

It is snowing from left to right outside the window and I just received a solar cooker. Better test it another day. I am sure looking forward to it. Did I fall for one of these humiliating TV shop offers? Nope. I have seen several sailors use it on video blogs and most of them seem happy with the result. Totally fuel free. Fold out the sun reflectors, and point them towards the sun. Put whatever you want to cook on the long tray and slide it into the glass tube. On a sunny da
