Our loudspeakers in the cockpit started crackling and failing a few months ago. No problem, we got new ones in Austria and simply brought them back to the boat along with other roughly 59 kg of goodies for Pitufa… A few days ago while we were on passage, Christian ripped out the old ones and started cleaning and sanding the area while Pitufa was happily rolling in rough seas downwind. Of course we couldn’t just install the new, shiny loudspeakers now, but had to filler, primer and paint both corners of the cockpit–all the while keeping Smurfy’s helpful paws out of the way
Everything finished, Christian installed the new loudspeakers today, turned on the music and the new speakers were crackling like the old ones!! Turns out a dodgy cable was the culprit after all (the artful construction a bee had built in the old speaker probably didn’t help with the sound either…).
Anyway, now we can finally listen to metal in the cockpit again! Sing along with AC/DC’s version of the genesis: “Let there be light, let there be sound, let there be ROCK!”
