Dateline; Jolly Harbour Antigua

 

Enjoying a mix of sun and rain.

 

Fresh water leaks remain elusive and deck leak thru mast cable flange remains resolute in its determination to remain undetected.

 

Bilge pump float switch given up the ghost and have new ‘super’ job for installation.

 

Alarming forestay sag being attended to by whacking up the backstay – I hope. If that doesn’t do it, the $64000 question is whether that nice Mr Selden has hidden a turnbbuckle inside the furler. If he has – easy job. If not will need to shorten forestay assuming there is a bit to shorten o’wise a new forestay!?!?!?

 

Fuel gauges showing empty tank ‘full’ and vice versa. More electronic gizmo stuff not worth a doken.

 

And to think that good old Joshua Slocum rounded The Horn on bully beef and tin tacks.

 

Just discovered off licence selling Chile Chardonnay for EC$ 10 a pop!!! At that price who cares what it tastes like and above whinges fade in the glory of an Antiguan sunset viewed from Castaways Beach.
