How come some things don't go wrong til you're just about to leave

A stressful few days leading up to our departure, potentially scheduled for tomorrow. Yesterday we found a couple of fairly big niggles that needed sorting out today, just when we thought we were all ship-shape.

 

Rest assured a bit of physical grafting today has put them right; a good boatyard, specialised advice, plus Colin’s skill at figuring out solutions, and my ability to point things out whilst keeping safe distance (reference the ‘back-off’ look in Colin’s eyes!) have saved the day. Now off for a final run to the super-mercado so we can cram more food into any locker spaces that might still exist – you can never have too many tins of Heinz baked beans!
