We spent that last couple of days working on some important installation conversions on the boat. The first was to install additional wiring, isolators and shore power socket to adapt our 16a 220v boat to 30a 120v Canadian and US power, at the heart of this conversion we fitted the Victron Auto 3600w version of Isolation Transformer which does a fantastic job of converting both 120V and 220V to a stable 240V whilst at the same time works as an isolation transformer. Everything aboard so far seems quite happy going from 50Hz to 60Hz. We will write a more technical blog post about this installation, which is the easiest way to convert an EU boat for the US and visa versa. Next was the Propane where we decided to purchase two 11LB refillable tanks to replace the 6KG UK tanks. These fit perfectly in the locker and then we just needed to change over the hose tail fitting to a US Pol.. Filling these was easy at the local gas station. (So much cheaper than in the UK)We have also changed our reefing winch for a self tailing winch, this will make the process of reefing down the main, particularly when sailing downwind, so much easier. #victronenergy#hallbergrassy#snowbearsailing#ronstan#binnacle#FlameKing ...

Battle Harbour, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada.This is a beautiful place with the most friendly people, and we are enjoying some fine late summer weather. Also great to see Arctic Fox on the Island with a shiny summer coat. ——-#snowbearsailing #visitcanada #visitcanada🇨🇦 #canada #historicpreservation #historic #historichouse #sailinglife #visitnewfoundlandlabrador #visitnewfoundlandandlabrador #battleharbour #sailcanada #explornewfoundland ...

We spent a month in southern Greenland and had an amazing time visiting this quite remote destination. We had heard rumours of an amazing anchorage and were not disappointed by it. The supermarkets here are so well-stocked, which really surprised us, but there is one thing we just couldn't find! And we also share the recipe for a great drink to make to celebrate a successful cold crossing....#sailing#snowbearsailing#visitgreenland#boatlife#sailgreenYachts and Yachting MagazineaBådmagasinetsOcean Cruising Club Cruising World MagazineaYachting WorldWYachting MonthlynThe Cruising AssociationationHallberg Rassy Raymarinearine ...
