Only just arrived quite knackered so will...
Very frustrating finding the weather. We've seen Subs, a Whale and various shipping. The thing that struck me the most is how dark it gets in the Atlantic. The stars go right to the horizon- It's like being inside a kids snow globe. Got a fairly slow connection that keeps dropping out so sorry...
Here we are back in Sotogrande. It's been a hectic week trying to catch up with a few things while we were home. Jon & I met up with Clive & Phil (Suncoast) before we left for home last week but haven't had time to post any updates. We are heading for the azores but having consulted the weather...
Well we've made it this far!
After our initial rainy, bumpy crossing of the Gulf du Lions the sea flattened out and we had a pleasant trip pretty well the rest of the way. I was even treated to a Dolphin display on my (21st) birthday yesterday. This part of the trip has taken us 4 days. Once...
Well we are back home all safe and sound. We were kept up to date with weather by our onboard tecky bloke RickP and his laptop along with phone calls and texts to & from Derek (DJEfabs) Thanks Derek, was a real help.
The Fuel issue was that 1 tank was always reading much more fuel than the...
Shooting the breeze with Brendan and the others at the Wokingham meet the other night, I mentioned my love of Nortechs (Blank stares from everyone)
So I did a little digging, and PM'd this to Brendan. He reckons I should share it with you
What do you think?? Mad or not??
Ecocat or Nortech??
At...

Can only guess what happened, but a reminder to use those kill cords maybe?

Cheers, Col

Just changed my fuel filters for the first time in 18months (yeah. I know. Naughty,naughty)
I have to say I was really pleased to see how clean they are.
My set up has 2 Lucas/ CAV type primay filters, and a spin on secondary filter per engine. The 2 CAV types are "in series" (ie) the diesel...
