The run of fine weather continues and Saturday was another busy day albeit after a late start as we’d both overslept.<\/p>\n

First was a trip to the chandlers. There’s usually a few extra things we need to support that day’s projects. I needed a few extra screws for the the scoop under the anchor locker and Helen wanted to look at the price of paint for the window edges. While there we were able to pick up our new hob ring covers which we’d ordered. Our current ones are a bit corroded now and create a sooty flame from time to time.\u00a0 Next was a trip to the supermarket for the weekend’s food.<\/p>\n

Back on the boat I performed some additional cleaning up and prep for sticking down our line cover. Helen got on with the windows which was to take her most of the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

While she painstakingly worked her way through the grades of sandpaper and lens polish I got on with the following smaller tasks :<\/p>\n

\n
• Final clean of the genset raw water input sea cock and replaced it<\/li>\n
• Cleaned and lubricated holding tank through hulls<\/li>\n
• Fixed the bosuns chair by cutting out a new piece of wood for the seat to replace the one that had crumbled<\/li>\n
• Hung up the washed\/conditioned lines<\/li>\n
• Affixed the line cover<\/li>\n
• Applied anti corrosion paste to a number of the underside fittings<\/li>\n
• Failed to fix anchor locker scoop as the new scoop I had was the wrong size<\/li>\n
• Sanded starboard prop and scraped\/sanded starboard prop shaft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  At the end of a hot day all the tools were put away accompanied by a well earned beer.\u00a0 We had a delicious grilled steak and prawns for dinner accompanied by some nice wine.\u00a0 Back on the boat we played cards for a little bit before falling to sleep.<\/p>\n

  This morning I have woken early. Esspecially early as the clocks went back last night.\u00a0 The weather should remain fine today although drizzle is forecast for this evening.\u00a0 We still have things to do this weekend but not perhaps a full day.\u00a0 Maybe we’ll get a lie in and some time off this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
