Quick update for anybody reading the blog. Got the sails attached (oops, sorry, the sails were bent on) with the help of 'Delicado Jim'. Jim used to manufacture false knashers so was a dab hand at wire-locking!
The table will be re-glued today (thu) and a template will be made up for the new storage cupboard under the sink, hopefully to be installed tomorrow.
My newly polished hull already has the 'Chagauramas stain', a delicate mixture of diesel, general filth and God knows what!
Crew delayed in Grenada due to electrical problems in the charging system (I'm assuming that's the boat, not the crew).
The Chinese lunch was definitely miss-able, very greasy but the company was good.
Went to a 'pot luck' BBQ on Monday, which was fun.
England need to pull their collective fingers out. I'll never hear the end of it if the Ashes is a draw.
BUT the outboard still works, the Sun is generally shining when it isn't peeing with liquid sunshine so in general life is good.
