Preparations

There has been a lot to do during the last months. Although Amy had already been outfitted with most things, there were still many things that I would want along for the trip. Most of the things I would either find second hand or build them myself.

I wanted a small table that would also act as a bookshelf. Although I don’t have many electric appliances I needed to get a second battery and another solar panel. For the second solar panel I would also need a mount on the pushpit.

I also needed a different dinghy which I found on eBay. I added a small electric trolling motor that could be operated from the battery which will be charged from the new solar mount.

After years of using a sheet to tiller steering construction and an autopilot, I found a used Pacific Light Windvane on eBay which will hopefully steer Amy reliably on all courses to the wind.

I will update the list as I go along. Stay tuned.
