Maintenance Marine VHF

The ship is equipped with an very old VHF Radio, the Sailtron RT 80. In some way I like it very much, so I would like to use it for inshore Nederland. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way (yet) to change the MMSI ATIS number. So bad luck I go for a new model to have a radio for mid Mai for our first coming trip.

I decided to go for a Lowrance LVR 880:
The order is placed, a post about the installation will follow soon.

First time sailing

Some pictures on our first weekend on the ship. 

There were many things to do and many things to discover. 

Installing the side lines in the berth and some protection carpet.

The cosy front cabin.
Waking up the engine after wintertime. From Hellevoetsluis to Stellendam.
