More freezer progress
Finally we have finalized our own-made freezer for our sailboat, and we are really happy with it! It was quite bigger than we first thought and it looks really fresh. We are still a bit unsure if the cooler we bought will be able to keep temperatures below freezing but if not we just have an extra cooling box. As mentioned before is a Danfoss BD35F compressor with a plate evaporator that is as good as new. Earlier we had started adding insulation into the freezer and after that was done we started covering the surface with white-painted aluminum. If you want more posts about our freezer and how we…

The reason for not choosing a thicker version was that the surface we want to attach them onto will be pretty smooth and then there is no need to have a thicker, more forgiving material. Now we will just have to set up all the roof panels in the sailboat and after we are finished with that we are pretty…

A short update
It was a couple of days since we updated anything here and the reason for that is that we have just been busy both with our regular jobs and preparing Anne-Mon. We try to do shorter updates on Instagram, so follow us there if you want to see more. But in short we are still working a lot with the interior of the boat and removing and replacing the rotten wood. We have also made a lot of progress with the freezer and we think it will be really great 🙂 We also recently bought a new life raft, we bought a Sea Safe Pro Light for 4 persons, which…
