Using some screw and bolt as ballast.
We were going the void between the hull and the keel. So we reused leftovers. It's free, positioned in the right place even though it's only a small part of the ballast.

Lighthouse foghorn keeps people awake by going off every 13 seconds

Faulty #lighthouse #foghorn has been keeping people awake for almost a week by sounding every 13 seconds

Residents near Land’s End, #Cornwall, were advised to buy #earplugs after #Longships Lighthouse’s foghorn started going off every 13 seconds last week

After six days of constant noise, they were warned they might have to wait even longer before the foghorn can be fixed
