Not much to report - just a quick post to let you know this blog has still got a pulse.

Dehumidifier and heater are back on the boat. Proof, as if proof were needed, that winter is upon us. The 'cold' hasn't arrived yet, but the 'wet' is well and truly with us.

Sailing wise there is not much to report. Some sailing in a brisk breeze (fun), some drifting in very little wind (not so much fun, but the pleasant company made it bearable - and then some) and some pottering about. Generally not going anywhere and taking our time about it.

Weather and work are seriously cramping my style. And this (work) is not likely to improve before the end of November, though if we're lucky we might squeeze in a day of two over the upcoming school half-term holidays.

Winter maintenance/repair list is fairly minimal. Fix the leaking port-side water tank, some tabs, find a way to secure the oven and put back the wind generator mast. Last but not least, some minor deck caulking. End of list. Yard has got the job well in hand and no doubt they will once again do a great job.
Sprayhood's already made it to the loft to have the window replaced. Hopefully it should reappear in the very near future.

And that my friends, is all she wrote. Hang in there and stay safe. We are.
