Blue Water Sailing Magazine just published my article yesterday. Usually Patrick writes this one, but this year, it fell to me. Special thanks to Jeff Carlile for helping with editing, back in July, when an article deadline was just one of many problems in my life 🙂
This article talks about the many things we added to the boat in Richards Bay, at the Zululand Yacht Club, as well as at the Hout Bay Yacht Club in Cape Town, just before Patrick passed from Covid 19.
It includes a review of our GOST security system, our Torrid Hot Water Heater, Coppercoat, Hypervent from Defender Industries, our Manson Supreme and Manson BOSS anchor, our Raymarine Autopilot, and Raymarine Chartplotter with Predictwind, Our Victron Battery Monitor, our Freedom Won Lithium Iron Phosphate battery upgrade, our Balmar Alternator, Regulator and serpentine belt kit, as well as Propspeed, and our Cubic Mini woodstove, as well as our Avon Dinghy/RIB.

Hi Rebecca this is Lynn Aldrich I am an arborist feom Seattle we’ve never spoken or met but I have enjoyed you show and love listening watching your adventures. Im so sorry about Patrick I mean I cried too. Im on facebook but don’t feel obliged to message me back. I just wanted you to know it breaks my heart to see your heart break. I know i don’t know you but have felt like it because I watch. I know there’s nothing I can say to make it better but just knowing that your two have touched my life has been nice for me. I am so dryly for your loss. Patrick seemed like such a nice guy like we could’ve been buds. Anyhow my heart goes out to you. Someone told me once it’s not like it gets easier day by day but time does heal I hope you find healing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care hon. I am super sad for you im sad to do sad too. I really liked him too and learned stuff from him he had such a pleasant demeanor and a kind disposition I really liked hjm, I know you’re hurting and i care. He was a great guy. You were lucky to have him. So sorry for your loss. I just woke up and heard the news so i don’t know when it happened but it’s still fresh to me. Ouch…i hope the kitty is ok.
