We arrived in Cawsand at 1445 Sunday and after the crowds had left we found a space nearer the beach, nearly busting a bloodvessel while manually winching in the anchor windlass - which I later stripped & greased. We stayed a couple of nights enjoying the luxury of loads of water from our refill in Polpero. I also stripped the alternator and fitted an external regulator which happened to be on the boat. We seem to be regulating ok again.
