Today replaced the problematic fine fuel filter assembly. All nearly OK the is a small weep from a banjo fitting when engine running. As used all original seals as no spares carried of those. Yanmar dealer other side of island. So far no joy contacting them by phone or email to get some replacements. Now they are not open until Monday.

More mosquito net manufacturing today.

Pretty windy here all day with the air being drawn towards the depression leading Vendee Globe boats are dealing with, still warm although cloudy. Tomorrow expecting only sunshine and 25 degrees C.
