Blog Posts this week
- Moving from surviving to thriving: Our strongest winds since moving onboard
- New Video: Making DIY Busbars for our all Electric Boat refit: We need 10 different busbars on our Rival 38 as we go all electric. So we have been making our own.
- Compost Toilets update: Another step forward (I'm incredibly positive about how awesome compost toilets are, one of the best technologies for reducing disease and the environment - they should be used far, far more widely).
Videos
