Back in the Swing on Beez
Neez
  Thursday to today has been a
whirlwind of activity akin to each of us being hamsters in an exercise wheel
but, sometimes, trying to run in opposite directions or running together and a
stick gets shoved in between the bars and we come to a crashing halt. Bear has
been a busy boy fitting the 12 volt TV we brought back from the UK, new mains
sockets, changed the seagull drinking water filter, sorted the kitchen red light
fault, found the problem with the bow thruster. He has also been hard at work on Beez engine stripping and painting the back
half of the engine. He has finished adding the new alternator system with parts
we brought back and fitted the ventilation pipe tubing from the engine as far as
the back lazarette (to be finished next week). I have been lining cupboards,
sorting ‘stuff’, cleaning and finally saddling up the sander and sandpaper. I
know I said never, never again after Bear dropped this spanner and dented my
just finished cockpit combing. But, needs must..........
The bits that didn’t go at all
well......... Bear finding that the bow thruster battery was deceased and whilst
putting the two little stainless steel clam shells on the anchor drain
points(near the girls nose), each held on by three screws – he chipped Beez
paint with one of the screws. Let’s hope next week
brings no bad events....... we’ll see.
 This evening on Pontoon 1.
 We arrived for
the ‘get together’ and met up with old friends and
met loads of new yachties. There were so
many of us there was a distinct dip, so much so, it was an incline to walk
either way. I met Marie, a New Zealander who is a hairdresser and they are
coming in from the anchorage on to this very pontoon, no more excuses for not
having my hair chopped off, something I have long been vacillating
over.
ALL IN ALL MIGHT NEED
