Cockpit

The cockpit is comfortable and well laid-out . A lovely place for drinks with fellow cruisers and    very  safe if it gets a little bumpy.




If you wish to enlarge a picture, just click on it. You can return to normal by clicking the X in its top right corner.








A cockpit awning provides essential protection in warmer climes.

And in addition Bluesipp carries a full awning for use at anchor or on moorings.










Instruments are comprehensive and very conveniently placed.

(And this is the only shot of the liferaft that I have)



In particular the  Echo Pilot
 forward looking sonar has proved extraordinarily useful for narrow creeks, shelving beaches and especially comforting if short handed among coral "bommies"

That is indeed the anchor chain!

Also in the picture is the main waterproof vhf, ICOM M603. DSC, coupled to the
Garmin GPSmap 421S










A mosquito net is easily fitted to the companionway as are a pair of storm boards










These boards bolt to the wash-boards.  We have only ever needed to fit the lower of the two boards.
