Voyage of Wanderingstar

Hello all,

Having a couple of days rest at Santa Cruz, except its not quite lying in the sun resting. Steve was here to meet me on Tuesday night and has brought with him my new AIS transponder (as well as a couple of fry bentos pies) which once fitted will allow other ships to see me as well as me seeing them. But it requires a lot of setting up and wiring and registering with offcom and licences and checking input signals etc etc but its all looking good for being set up when I leave on Saturday for Antigua.

Its also a big rest from the constant motion of the boat and great to be able to sleep a full night without alarms or the need to check position and lookout.  
 
Also its nice to be able to have a beer and laugh with a mate rather than one of my imaginary friend. In fact some of my imaginary friends have taken the opportunity to jump ship. 

All the best
Ben
