Our plan to anchor off North Haven Beach was thwarted by the breeze backing into the SW and freshening, making the beach an uncomfortable lee shore. Consequently we opted to continue on into the Squadron marina and tie up alongside the berth that I have signed up to rent for the next six months.

Next Tuesday I have a mechanic, Ian Brown, who comes highly recommended from my fellow sailors here at the Squadron, coming to look at Sylph's BRM. Hopefully he will be able to help make clear the way ahead for what needs to be done to get it back in top running order. In the meantime I received the new head gasket, so that will be ready to go if needed.

And this morning Ada and I mixed up some cement and installed Oli's little memorial.

 

All is well.
