Ups and downs

This morning we went to see a helicopter rescue
demonstration and practice setting off some out of date flares.
We also re-varnished the outside table,
which was UV damaged. Unfortunately, while we were at lunch some
guys came to fit our "yellowbrick" tracking device and put their cases
down on our shiny new table surface. Lucky it was only the first
coat, but it will take some sanding to get rid of the mark.
Finally, after lunch, we were ready to install
the wind instruments. Unfortunately I caught my little finger in the
mainsail halyard on the way up the mast and had to come back down without
actually doing the installation.
Not the best of days, but it could
have been a lot worse. The surgeon was pleased that the finger went back
together so well and we still had time to go out for a nice meal,
compliments of Estella's mum who is here to see us
off. |
