Lagos: Back to Work
37:06.612N 8:40.477W After waking to do the broadcast on VHF C77, we did a double
load of washing. We then started an inspection / documentation of the water
pipes. The aim is to find if we have any leaks, improve the system with redundant
backups and replace any old pipe work. We also ended up cleaning out the bilges
as we went. Clean bilges are essential, not for any boat related reason but
because Yoyo clearly loves exploring them. We have managed to do the back half of the boat today and
found one small leak, several bits of pipe that need replacing and one seized
stop cock. When we finished we managed to coax Yoyo back into normal living
space. Today has been one big exploration for her. This evening we cooked an impromptu meal for Karen and
Richard. Richard bought some fresh fish around for Yoyo…err I mean for
the people. Yoyo had most of it anyway. We then had the now traditional boys vs girls game of
scrabble. The girls cheated at Scrabble and won…well we found an online
Scrabble word checker and every “made up” word they created seemed
to be in! |
