Weather outlook for departure looks best presently for
Sunday when we are able to reach or run, before that looks like perfect
southerlies so a couple hundred miles beating which we have decided to avoid if
options available.
Miles of walking today to try and get spares required
for fixes without too much luck.
Thin nylon/plastic 12mm washers for the autopilot
mounting pivot proving a real problem only ones found to date are metal or
rubber and too thick to fit in space available. We have more places to visit
tomorrow which hopefully give us some success.
New fine fuel filter assembly has been obtained. No plan
to replace it until we need to bleed system as all working now and could
introduce a fuel leak at one of the 3 fuel unions we will have to
disturb.
Cockpit locker have rerouted some rubber seal and added
rubber tube to locker lid to stop water being forced in the locker when waves
wash along the deck.
Now we are off to the bar to work out where we are going
to eat.
