Captain's Log: Yacht To Infinity
Saturday, 24th January 2026 – Launching the Season
Engine Hours 2033.5
Ships Log 821.10
Season Opener
Today marks the official start of the 2026 season aboard Yacht To Infinity. The day began with essential engine checks: inspecting oil and fuel filters, the impeller, and belts. With all checks completed, it was time to fire up the engine for the first time this year.
Engine and Systems Check
The engine warmed up nicely, and I confirmed a steady flow of water from the exhaust – always a reassuring sight. Engaging drive, I verified that the propeller was turning as it should, with a decent wash trailing behind the boat.
Leaving the Berth
With the crew releasing the lines, we slipped out of our berth for a brief journey to the fuel dock. Despite the short distance, the excitement of the new season was palpable.
Refuelling
Once alongside the fuel berth, Peter, the yard manager, joined me on the pontoon to help refill To Infinity. With 240 litres of diesel added, the tank is now full and ready for all that the 2026 season has in store.
Back Home
We made the short return trip to our berth, where she was securely tied up, ready for the next job on the list. A successful start to another year of adventure.
