A Major Improvement to Kamalii

What you see to the left is probably the single most important improvement I have made to Kamalii.

Prior to this upgrade, Kamalii suffered from a pretty serious problem. After a full days sailing it was typical to finally lay to anchor, get everything packed away, and then settle in for drinkies, only for the horror to strike.

Lacking a proper latch on the icebox in the fridge, under sail the door would fly open on the icebox and all our ice trays would get dumped all through the fridge, slowly melting in the process. This meant that on many occasions we were left without any ice for sundowners.

"Holy shit!", I hear you say, "I hope James kept his Coastguard membership up to date! What a mayday situation!"

Now, all is bliss. While we defrosted the fridge I fit a proper bolt to the door (which you can see centre of the picture), so now our ice cubes are safely secured within their frozen domicile, even under the harshest of sailing conditions. It's great when you knock off the really important jobs. Life is good.
