Position: 30°38.63’N, -53°53.75’W. We’re still feeling the effects of the storm that passed, with pitch and roll at 10.2° and 17° (lower left). The 24-hour pitch, roll and wind speed graphs (near center) show that conditions have improved, and the winds are settlingdown. Storm Behind.
ROMSDALSFJORDEN
Romsdalsfjorden. At 46 nautical miles long, Romsdalsfjorden is the ninth-longest fjord in Norway. The fjord forks into three main branches at the island of Veoya, once the main medieval trading center between Trondheim and Bergen where the 12th-century Medieval Church of St. Peter still stands. The three main branches stretch past the townsof
FINNAFJORDEN
Spectacular Finnafjorden ("the hidden fjord") is a branch of Sognefjord, Norway's longest and deepest fjord. While Finnafjorden is one of the shortest arms of Sognefjord, what it lacks in length it makes up for in amazing scenery. Particularly impressive is nearly landlocked Finnabotn, where 4,000-ft (1,200 m) mountains encircle the bay, giving the feel ofRIVER LIFFEY
The River Liffey runs through the center of Dublin and has long been a source of water, recreation and commerce for the city. Trade along the river was recorded as early as the Viking days and the first bridge across was built in 1428. Up until the 1990s, cargo ships transported Guinness for export from VALVE SEAT RECESSION Valve Seat Recession. About four weeks ago, our generator suddenly went from normal output to having far less power. Instead of the 10+ kW it normally produced, it could only generate 7 kW. We worked through the Northern Lights diagnostic procedure and concluded we had a valve or valve seat problem on #3 cylinder exhaust.FUEL COOLING
Fuel Cooling. On arriving into Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands in 2013, the fuel temperature in our supply tank had climbed to 180F (82C). What was happening is the engine circulates about 50 gallons per hour and yet only burns a tiny fraction of that. Most of this fuel flows through the engine fuel system and back into the tank.STORNOWAY ARRIVAL
Stornoway Harbour was only the second marina we've stopped at since arriving in Scotland two months ago, and again we weren't the only Nordhavn there. At James Watt Dock Marina near Glasgow, Nordhavn 55 Odyssey was moored behind us. At Stornoway, Nordhavn 68 Vesper was one pontoon away from us. We spent the afternoon of KVH V7-HTS: TWICE THE SPEED & MORE COVERAGE Frequent readers of this blog know we have become very dependent upon satellite communications. In fact, we have three different satellite technologies on board Dirona, as described in Communications at Sea. Here, we complete a quick survey of the satellite systems on Dirona, our experience with them, and why we upgraded to the KVH V7-HTS system four months ago. Our JOHN DEERE 6068AFM75 It’s a John Deere 6068AFM75 M2. The standard engine in the Nordhavn 47 and 52 series is a Lugger L1066T.2 with a ZF220A gearbox. Both are great, long lasting components.

Instead of the 10+ kW it normally produced, it could only generate 7 kW. We worked through the Northern Lights diagnostic procedure and concluded we had a valve or valve seat problem on #3 cylinder exhaust. The steps we UPDATING THE MAINTENANCE LOG A few years back we posted the Excel-based spreadsheet we wrote for our maintenance log, along with instructions on how to use it. The spreadsheet has continued to serve us well, and still is our main tool for managing maintenance items. While it’s fairlyJAMES HAMILTON
Bio: James is a Vice President and Distinguished Engineer on the Amazon Web Services team where he is focused on infrastructure efficiency, reliability, and scaling.MAINTENANCE LOG
On our previous boat, we were (just barely) able to remember when all mechanical systems needed service as the hours mounted and time passed. But that system broke down when we got the current boat. There are far more systems, many of the intervals vary greatly, and when running offshore, up-to-date service is even more FUEL FOR THE CROSSING Dirona carries 1735 gallons of diesel for the main engine: 835 gallons in each side tank and 65 gallons in the day tank. (We also have a 10-gallon supply tank for the auxiliary engine). Although 1735 gallons would have been fine for the roughly 2,000nm trip between San Francisco and Hawaii, we added 532 gallons in cockpit bladder tanksfor that run.
BATTERY CABINET HARDWARE V1 6 April 7, 2011 aisle temperature is not predictable. The maximum temperature of the hot aisle (back of the cabinet where outlet air slots are) is +45°C (+113°F). There is an air pressure gradient between the front of the cabinet and the back causing SMITH SURPRISES INLET Smith is the southernmost of two inlets that branch from the mouth of Smith Sound, directly north of Cape Caution.

SCANIA SITE VISIT
In the 27th edition of our Technology Series, we visit the Scania manufacturing plant at Sodertalje, Sweden near Stockholm. Scania is famous for producing modular engines with excellent fuel economy and power-to-weigh ratios. We've seen their beautiful trucks and buses throughout Europe, and they have a particularly loyal and happy customers base. We've stopped toMV DIRONA
More information at: Nordhavn 52 Dirona is powered by an M2-rated John Deere 6068AFM75 IMO Tier II emissions engine producing 266 hp. We are equipped with an emergency get-home engine manufactured by Northern Lights, a Lugger L844D, producing 40hp.The boat has a single generator, also from Northern Lights, a Northern Lights M843NW3.3 12kw single phase generator (50A@240V). TECHNICAL – DIRONA AROUND THE WORLD While our cruising lifestyle may be on pause during the Scottish lockdown, our maintenance log isn’t. Several scheduled service items came due in mid-May, including annual testing, lubricating and changing the oil and filter in our gasoline engines, changing the hydraulic zincs, and charging our backup batteries. UP THE WEST COAST OF VANCOUVER ISLAND The west coast is divided into five large sounds that indent the island: Barkley, Clayoquot, Nootka, Kyuquot, and Quatsino. The typical trip consists of a series of exposed coast runs between them, with several days spent within each one. NORDHAVN - DIRONA AROUND THE WORLD Nordhavn 5263. Our most recent Nordhavn-specific posts are here. Cruising. 69.1 degrees (heel-over to 69.1 degrees at the Wide Bay Bar); On the hard at Norsand Boatyard; Hilo to Honolulu (tropical cruising) ; From Hawaii to French Polynesia (fuel economy); Cruising Prince William Sound STEELHEAD WIRELESS REMOTE We've had three pendants fail on our Steelhead Marine crane over the last 9 years. The proportional switch proximity sensor is very fragile but there are other failure points as well. These pendants cost just under $1000 each, so we really needed a longer lasting and more economical solution. Steelhead does sell a remote-control for thiscrane,
JOHN DEERE 6068AFM75 Last Friday I visited the engine for our new boat (next boat). It’s a John Deere 6068AFM75 M2. The standard engine in the Nordhavn 47 and 52 series is a Lugger L1066T.2 with a ZF220A gearbox. Both are great, long lasting components. We chose to move to the John Deere 6068 toget a bit
DUNDAS BAY WEST ARM, SE ALASKA Cruising Southeast Alaska: Dundas Bay West Arm Porcupine Bay was our last stop on the west side of Chichagof Island--we would spend the next week in Glacier Bay National Park. We still had two more days before we could enter the permit-only portion of the park, but we planned to spend a night or two in Dundas Bay first.PERSPECTIVES
Reinventing Operational Resiliency. The cloud helps organizations achieve unmatched resiliency at scale. This is a quick write-up I LINUX/APACHE ON ARM PROCESSORS In The Case for Low-Cost, Low-Power Servers, I made the argument that the right measures of server efficiency was work done per dollar and work done per joule.Purchasing servers on single dimensional metrics like performance or power or even cost alone, makes no sense at all. Single dimensional purchasing leads to micro-optimizations that push one dimension to the detriment of others.* __
