Today was a bit discouraging. We had thought that we might be able to
leave but it seems that there is bad weather brewing so we can't leave
today.
The day was also discouraging as having had one head out of action,
the other one then developed a leak but Ian and Roger heroically fixed
it - it only took them about three hours. We are awaiting a new pump
for the out of action head which should arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Further, we managed to singe our inverter and so that had to come out
and is being looked at overnight to see what the prognosis is. We
have also found that there are other electrical problems with the
circuit breakers which will need to be sorted out before we leave
too. The navigation lights still need sorting as well. So maybe the
weather did us a favour.
As evening fell the fog crept in and during the night we had a massive
thunderstorm and buckets of rain. We woke up at 2.30 am because of
the sound of dripping and had to go round closing all the portholes
and hatches which had been left ajar for air. The rain was torrential
but it was cosy lying in the bunk listening to it thundering on the
roof.
Rosemary and Ian
