Tiger Balm on Tour

Gordon Millar & Colette Mullins

Sun 27 Jun 2010 18:50

N06:00.60 E114:47.00

COG: 090
SOG 7.2KTS
DTG 75NM
ETA: 1400 LOCAL

Approaching the continental shelf. Reduced speed to arrive after lunchtime
at the marina.

Weather is perfect, light breeze, calm with long period low
swell, 29 degrees, and a full moon casting shadows on the deck

First significant failure with no spare on board- fuel transfer/boost pump.
Balancing fuel with cunning use of return valves! To be honest a spare
wouldn't have made lot of difference at this stage as I probably wouldn't
have bothered installing it - the engine room temp is over 50 degrees, and
there is a lot of very,very hot metal down there, not to mention a whole
load of whirling bits of machinery!

Still no signs of scurvy, might be a spot of alcohol withdrawal though!
