No blog for ages but lots going on.

Juffa is in Trinidad safely tucked up in the boat yard, hopefully out of reach of the Caribbean hurricanes. Decisions were finally made to upgrade the water maker with an increase in water production from 12l per hour to over 113l per hour. We’ve always had enough water….but have had to be carefully prudent about what to use it for and how much to use particularly as the water maker largely ran off the solar panels. Rainy days for catching water were preferable to cloudy low power days. So now we will still be careful but maybe a little fresher smelling as the day goes on.

Carrying the water maker back to the UK for an eBay sale proved a little eventful. The baggage checked in just inside the weight limit. The call ‘Cole, William come to the desk’ wasn’t entirely unexpected as the parcel of pipes, motors and membranes was inspected by security. Satisfied with its provenance we headed back to the UK from Trinidad to Tobago to St Lucia and finally London Gatwick. A very long and much over rated night flight.

Balmy West Sussex was typically English. Occasional halcyon days of hot blue skies interspersed cloudy overcast grey but on the whole a very respectful summer. Celebrating new baby, birthdays and time with family was the best. Schools are back, leaves are turning and its time to head back to boat jobs, hopefully followed by a little Caribbean time.
