C Bligh and I have finally solved our power problem. It's a bit like battery bingo, which we won by identifying the one identical battery in five which was being naughty. It has now been disconnected and sent to voltage limbo.
While all this was going on the boat had to be hand steered. There were a lot of very nasty rain squalls about. We took turns at steereing for blocks of half an hour. Now here's the thing; During my half hours the heavens opened and the rain came horizontally with 30 knot winds. During Bligh's half hours the sun shone and the wind dropped to 15 knots. Needless to say old Bis clucking on about having connections "up there".
Today's meal will be er, uhm, er, Curry!
