With Helen’s foot inflamed rest is what the doctor would have ordered had we visited one. So we stayed aboard all day. Helen had the idea we should get on with some of the things on our list which, given that it was nice out and the water calm, was not a bad idea.
The main job was replacing the tap and shower head for the deck shower on the starboard transom. The tap was ok but the lid had been ripped off last year sometime. Can’t buy the lid, just the whole tap. As it was a European fitting I ordered it and picked it up while in the Uk. It took to Easter Sunday to get round to changing it over. It turned out to be a pretty awkward job as I had to get on my back down in the engine bay a few times to work on the hose fittings and to cut away glue. It was all eventually done and we’re now back in business. Most of the rest of the chores were regular inspection items so I won’t bore you any further.
The anchorage continued to fill throughout the day. I reckon there are about 200 boats here. And we were probably the only ones doing boat work. It is quite crowded here now, not what we like. However, Easter is over soon and most these folks will have to go back to work.
This morning Helen’s foot remains swollen so more rest is required. We may book a wine tasting tour for tomorrow after most of the crowds have left. Not too much walking involved with that.
