We have been here two weeks now, and we have done a lot
of work on the boat. She is probably in as good a condition as she ever has been
in our ownership. Some of the work includes:
- Ian has rewired calibrated the fuel
gauge
- mainsail and genoa have been repaired
- we retrieved the two halyards that we had lost at the
top of the mast
- I've cleaned and removed the errors on the
sextant
- downloaded some celestial navigation apps, to help
reduce the maths
- tightened the rig
- attended to some leaking fittings
- power washed the boat, twice
- Ian has helped two boats with engine
servicing
- I've used some diving equipment to clean a catamaran's
hull.
So, all in all, a productive time. I have also made a
Secchi disc, but more about that when we get underway.
Unfortunately, the problem Ian had with a molar in
Pwllheli has reappeared, but as soon as we can sort that out, we can
go.
I did try starting the clearing out process last Friday,
but the offices were closed. Brazil have a football game at 12.30 our time
(15.30 GMT) and so I don't think a lot will happen today.
