Ahoy, fellow sailors and adventure enthusiasts! Join us on our latest sailing escapade as we embark on an unforgettable journey from Helena Marina in Sorong to surprise our families back in France. Yes, you heard it right! They have absolutely no clue that we're on our way, making this surprise visit one for the books.

But before we set depart, there's work to be done! Join us as we meticulously prepare our beloved boat for a six-week storage. From stowing away the sails to securing the hatches, every detail counts in ensuring our vessel is shipshape for our absence.

Upon our return to the breathtaking Indonesian waters, a thrilling project awaits us: a complete overhaul of our onboard power system. We've decided to swap out our old batteries for new high-performance lithium ones, and here's the kicker – we're building them ourselves! That's right, folks, it's a full-blown DIY project, and we're taking you along for the ride.

From sourcing individual cells to assembling the batteries, we'll guide you through every step of the process. Trust us, this isn't your average battery swap – it's a cost-effective solution that promises to revolutionize our onboard energy efficiency.
