Hello all
So we've had a couple of great days in Bermuda.
Saturday we were in Hamilton to do some shopping needed for the Morning Song.
Before that, on late Friday PM we had Mr. Steve Powell over who helped us fixing
the engine. It was an electrical problem that was easier solved than we
expected, but at least we had one easy fix. We still had some problems with the
engine leaking diesel, but we solved that on Sunday morning when we changed the
fan belt on the Yanmar. It was leaking fuel on the return side by cylinder #2.
We managed to stop the leak and now she is spinning like a cat.
Hamilton was a great place. A very small town but
with the pulse of a major city.
Miia managed to get new contact lenses and now she
is chief lookout as well as chef, inventory manager and
entertainer.
Yesterday we went to the beach while waiting for
the shops to open on Monday morning. Tobacco beach and it was a great place.
Probably the nicest beach we've been to and we've been to many beaches!
Yesterday afternoon we changed some falls in the mast. As you might remember,
the fall for the genoa snapped on the last day and it was changed for a
new.
We bought some new ice for the bottom of the
freezer and we made a hull inspection including the propeller and rudder. It all
looks very good.
This morning we went for bunkering of fuel and
water. We took on 305 liters of diesel and 450 lts of water. We are going to get
the last of provision later today after we've clearede out and done some other
things.
We are leaving tomorrow morning early after a good
night sleep and a solid breakfast.
Take care and enjoy the pictures..
