Newsletter Sailing the Farm september.

Dear All

Short update.

We plan to leave for Inverness in Scotland soon. After our journey to
Denmark and back the list of to-do stuff on the boat is getting
smaller by day.

Its still space on board along coast of Europe, across to South
America and onwards if you want to join us! Just send an email to
zeyang00@gmail.com to get our application form. Everyone including
your chickes, cats, kids and seadogs are welcome to join!

Things on todo last couple of weeks.

- The deck was way too slippery. We mixed in sandblasting sand and
sticky paint. It looks good sofar. hopefully it will stop us from
sliding off the boat.

- Our rope chewing rig has been tamed. She was eating ropes like
spaghetti. The journey to Inverness will tell if her meny still
contains tasty poly-ropes.

- Paddle for Monitor Windwave broke straight off. Can be found on 400
meters deep in Kattegat. New one has been ordered. will be replaced
in UK or further south.

- Electronic charts have been installed. it will be two separate
system: one with Navionics on tablets (with a spare tablet hiding in
the pressure cooker) + open CPN. Then we have a few thousand paper
charts if everything else fails.

- AIS transponder is onboard: You can follow "SAILING THE FARM" on
marinetraffic.com or similar places which receive AIS signals and post
them on internet. Far offshore we are using HAM-radio to transmit
position. (different link will be posted later when have been testing
this) (I think it will be this:
http://services.wlw.winlink.org/maps...nreports.aspx…)

- For those shortwave radio heads out there: We are transmitting for
the first time!! We can now communicate far offshore. Plan is to have
a regular radio schedule with our friends and family back on land. You
can tune and listen or talk to us soon. We will keep you updated which
trasmitting frequency we are sending on. (system is Yaesu FT-897 with
FC-40 tuner, 6 meter fishing pole on the aft rail and
winlink/rms-express for receiving weatherfax/grib-files and
sending/receiving email). We are really grateful for help from the
local HAM-radio club in Kristiansand, Norway. This stuff is pretty
complictated - but fun.

Wish us fair winds and following seas.

love from Sailing the Farm

I am curious as to how you guys deal with ownership and registration in China?

we are in NIS/NOR international register. so we sail under norwegian flag.

[Wckoek]

Won't there be restrictions sailing outside of hainan or other sea areas?
Or you just launch outside of China.
