Finally booked back in the water on Thursday 22nd May at 1600.

I’ve still got a long list of stuff to finish but the main things are all done, especially as I just sold the car, which could have been a hassle otherwise.

Not much crossed off the list today though. The wind is a constant 30kts gusting 40kts so I’m not up for going up the mast to change the anchor light with a new led bulb or even putting up the genoa. The rest of the day has been spent finishing a good book I started yesterday - Michael Crichtons Airframe, hoovering up the thick black dust that we’re constantly filling up with from the strong northerly wind or enjoying the novelty value of watching the ammeter on the solar panel circuit I fitted yesterday (and went back & changed as it was faulty this morning) as it flickers between 5 & 9A as the clouds whiz past. Sad life - but still better than work!
