A week's work and then escape to St Anne
|
Date 1800
– 18 February 2011 We have had a busy and successful week in Le Marin with all of the jobs
ticked off. We now have working air conditioning in the saloon, useful in marinas
when we have shore power,; the water maker has updated software and now appears
to be less temperamental – it has always worked but sometimes would take
3-4 attempts to lock in; the sails have had the UV damage to the edges repaired;
and the VHF radio has been replaced – we were having problems with
receive sensitivity. In addition there has been cleaning and a gearbox
oil change by ourselves and we have taken advantage of Carrefour for
provisioning. Air conditioning helped keep the temperature on the boat under
control. It was however wonderful escape the confines of the marina for a
weekend of recovery in St Anne. We intend to spend the weekend here and then move back to |
