Well after another marathon session yesterday we have success with our starboard engine, fuel problem is fixed, and the port engine water pump is back in and no longer leaking….but…. isn’t there always a BUT? We now have an oil leak that needs to be sorted. Everything takes longer than you think!

So we have finished up most of our random ‘bits and bobs’; as the British say and need to move over to another Bay tomorrow, Sunday so we can have more work done on Monday morning. I finished up the single awning so our sewing is completed, for now, so back in the locker goes the sewing machine and all its parephenalia. In the meantime, part of the trampoline got restrung, a new gasket put in the port forward locker, preventer attached, jacklines out to be secured, anchor preventer run, etc, etc, etc…Jim keeps telling me it’s not work when it is on the boat, so I wonder why I am sore and dirty at the end of the day.

We had a farewell dinner last night with Rob & Piers, as Rob leaves this morning, which was again a lot of stories, and a lot of laughs, and we are up planning our day today. More, well….WORK!
