• Saturday boatwork

    Yesterday we continued with our watermaker installation and got the high pressure pump in position.

Hopefully we will get the wood for the interior we ordered soon so we can start cover the inside of the hull with beautiful wood instead of dirty plastic 🙂

  • Presentation of our Powersurvivor 80-ii water maker

    Finally we have received our “new” Powersurvivor 80-ii water maker! We bought it second hand, it has had two owners in the past but has never been installed.

This is possible since this model reuses energy in a way the most other water makers just waste over a pressure valve. When this is installed Anne-Mon will become a pretty much self-sustained boat (except the diesel, but with our enormous tanks running out…
