Our friends Nicki & Mattia joined us a for a week onboard Schiehallion. After stocking up with fresh fruit & vegetables, some water and petrol for the outboard we set off for some fishing a few miles offshore. Some electrical problems soon came to light but I managed to find a temporary solution and it didnt ruin our day. Mattia is a mad keen fisherman and soon had a good sized GT hooked. We'd decided to spent a few days anchored at the tiny uninhabited island of Do'o and cooked over a fire on the beach every evening. Mattia is an amazing artist and he left us with a very cool addition Schiehallions wall.

G'day guys, how're you doing? Hope you're all well out there. We are still anchored in Nembrala but we are
ready to go, we've got everything dialed, sails attached everything's put away seacocks are
turned off and we're going about six or nine miles that way, we're gonna do some fishing
hopefully catch some dinner and breakfast and dinner and breakfast and then we'll go about
six or nine miles that way to a beautiful little island that you guys haven't seen before but it's
freaking magical and we have some friends on board to divert your attention away from just
me and marie you'll have some fresh people to look at this week i'll show you who they are hey guys
who are you matia from from italy from italy this one hey nikki from switzerland and over
here we've got mary from france you guys ready to go ew super ready super ready to
get some fish get some fish getting dinner ready yeah and nikki's getting the snacks
you want some no i'm good it's like some very over fried sticks i'm good let's go guys
yeah you can go full speed but i'll just watch
so we're actually sailing now we're doing about seven knots but you probably
can hear the engine running because we we've been sitting there for two weeks
and it's never happened before but it went to turn the engine on and it was just a flat
starter battery i don't know why it's actually a brand new one well secondhand brand new that
we were given but uh yeah a bit weird so i'm just running the engine now for an hour or so to
charge up the battery because it sucks having not knowing if when you have to leave because i don't
know you're dragging or something and your engine won't run but hopefully it'll figure itself out
but now like today you really understand
with the wind like how crazy what are we doing
so we are drifting on a reef and trying to catch fish for dinner okay so we're hove too right now
because well we're fishing on this reef but we'll hope too because yeah this morning like i said we
had a flat battery and then now i've just been running the engine and then when i turned it off
all the power went out so i figured there has to be a bigger problem than just a flat battery
a few days ago i was wiring in some new led lights and i tripped circuit breakers a few times so i
sort of was like me and marie were like well what have we done with the electrics and registered
that and so i looked at the fuse box down by the battery and one of the big 50 amp fuses is broken
so that must be the relay or something between the batteries and the solar power and all that so
i don't have a spare one of them but i'm just got some copper wire
i'm just going to wire it directly and until i can get a proper fuse anyway look at it okay so here's
the different fuses circuit breakers and things like that and this fuse down here you can see
closely yeah this is this is broken so i'm just gonna hot wire these two together okay
she's all wired up again everything's come back on so yeah hopefully we'll um see some charging from
the solo now because i think it wasn't charging the starter battery so we're healing stop heart
right great cap ready react
we
so good fresh from the ocean
oh yeah bunches of them
very cool
what are we doing watching super beautiful dolphins
we are super lucky because in general they are not staying so long but they
are really swimming with the boat and enjoying it look at this one

called that it wasn't the giantest of the giant but quite big we can talk to matia about that we
had some electrical problems that are ongoing but apart from that it was pretty awesome probably got
sunburned all part of the day so tell us about this big fish i told the bottom for a second
so it was a nice surprise figured out it was a nice gt getting stuck on the bottom and then we
finally made it he's up with us well he's gone now with the shark but the best part of it some meat
and we're gonna swim that's the best
