Time For Some Warranty Work

After three months and 1200+ nautical miles sailed, we've given CURIOSITY one heck of a shakedown cruise. But as with any boat and especially a new boat, we have racked up a nice list of warranty work we need to sort out.

At this point we were a little on the fence about where to go:

Subic - The team at Asia Pacific Marine had taken such good care of us when we were there. We trust them and their work and it was only a few hundred miles away.
Cebu - HH Catamarans has recently set up a second factory here and naturally, would prefer we come to them. But they haven't finished building their dock, haul out facility or marina. So they had to verify they could actually make the haul out happen.

Now, you already know which direction we end up going...but at the time, we didn't.

Join us as we say goodbye to El Nido and set sail for a boat yard. And it's as if CURIOSITY knows she's headed in for repairs. Because she starts coughing up more work to add to the list. #BoatLife

Mini Bluetooth Temperature Humidity Sensors

These little guys are super affordable and have been incredibly helpful! We can monitor the indoor and outdoor temp and humidity anywhere in the boat.

We have watched what happens when we try out different settings on our AC. Which has helped us determine the best setting for dehumidification and power use. We can keep an eye on temps inside our tech spaces. We can see how hot it gets where we store paint and general chemicals. And of course, we can monitor temp and humidity inside our fridge when we think it's not working right.
