Wednesday 5th August. Work continues in the marina - the new water
and power facilities are about to be put to all the moorings along the
quays, along with metered (!) electricity - knew the free electricity
was too good to last. Pauline used the new marina washing machine
this morning - the marina reception came along to give her instruction
as the machine speaks Turkish only - I think it was a learning
experience for both of them! Maintenance continues as usual; today I
changed the oil in the generator and also the water-maker high
pressure pump; both are simple procedures made complicated by the fact
that both equipments have been shoe-horned into small spaces in the
cockpit port-side aft locker, and everything in the locker has to be
removed to get at them. The generator is now good for another 100
hours running and the water-maker for 500 hours.
