Fixed - sort of ...

Only one day of sailing this past week, but it's been an altogether busy week.
To absolutely no-one's surprise, the duct tape fix of the mainsail did not hold.
Removed the mainsail from the boat on Wednesday and took it a local sail loft to be mended/stitched.
One day and €50 later, the mainsail is back where it belongs though I have been told (like it needed repeating) to be careful with it as it won't last much longer.
Took the boat out for a spin yesterday to take advantage of what I fear may very well be the last of Summer.
Koeketiene is now alongside in Benodet for a couple of days.
Just long enough to get the engine serviced and to gather quotes for my (small) winter to-do list.
Already have some quotes for the sails, one more won't do any harm.
Other than replacing the sails, I want the electrics updated. Looking to expand the battery bank and to add solar panels.
All is well on board.
