Second shake-down cruise of "Moonshine"

Back from a second shake-down cruise, where we visited the province of Zeeland for a few days with family.

We had ok weather. 5 Bft. on day one, 2 Bft. on day two, and 3 Bft. on day three and 4 Bft. on day four. No rain, a little sunshine every now and then. It remains almost unbelievable how stable and smooth the ride is in higher wind conditions! Very happy & impressed by that. The missus thought the 5 Bft. was more like 2 or 3!

All systems work fine. Only issues that need checking is that the oven trips the electrical system and a few lights in the salon stopped working. That'll be taken care of tomorrow.

I was able to speed up the steering assistance slightly. Manual steering is now all ok, but the autopilot is still slow to react. The manufacturer has a software update that'll be installed in about two weeks.

Here are some pictures of us having fun during the trip. We had a family meeting on the boat, with sushi, beer, and wine. We sailed to the salt waters of Zeeland, did some seal spotting and had great seafood!

Regards, Salty.
