Today we are going to talk about how to face a water leak in our boat and prevent it from sinking.⛵
It will be the first of several episodes, in which we are going to focus on preventing sinking and above all on building various alarm systems to warn us if water enters the bilge of our ship.
All very simple, with two solutions: one that will alert us to the mobile wherever we are, and another that will notify us on the boat when we are sailing.
Of course we will spend very little money buying some things on Aliexpress, such as a 6 euro WiFi flood detector.

And all here at The Low Cost Sailor
