8th of March 2016,

As today, off course something new is not working, emergency battery are becoming flat, 14V instead of 24V.
After more than 6 hrs searching, it appears a small cable was loose, at the battery loader.
This is typically for this adventure. 85% cases we solve by our self but everyday a new fault apprears.
15% is not solved or temporarely. Tomorrow repairing the last most important item, overhaul of the steering and engine levers.
And after , seatrail, dancing with an asd tug, testing full speed and back in port, waiting for the port clearance.
Hopefully Thursday sailing to Fujerah, for stores, lub oil, gasoil and CREW CHANGE.
And no I don't want to stay longer, enough misery, half or not solved as per my request.
I hope to fly Sunday, to be home on Monday.
I keep my line, this time the line was passed. How older we become, how less we like to take a step in risk situation.
I'm certainly the last one which will not looking for new adventures but now I'm coming at an age that there are more important things in my life.
I have a small family, a nice young wife/a teenager boy and a crazy dog, if tomorrow something happen to me, I really don't know what will be the consequences.
So KEEP THE LINE, the lines are made to follow in order to prevent against the worst.
Miss my small family,

PS: Hopefully KAA GENT wins tonight and than playing against Benfica (To go see the game with the small boy)
