Gordon and Catherine

Thu 24 Oct 2013 14:59

Gordon has managed to get the steering gearbox out, fix it (we think) and put it back - re-aligning it with 2 steering wheels, the emergency steering gear and the electronic displays was no mean feat quite apart from the pain and contortion of working in the stern compartment of the boat. I've been provisioning and finding spaces for everything so we're now waiting on the self-steering kit arriving from America - well done Fed-Ex as it was predicted to be here by Oct 19th. Gordon found the first cockroach this morning, I'm glad it wasn't me who found it. Luckily it was in the cockpit and easily dealt with.
