Awoke late this morning at about 08:00.
Lovely morning, sun shining, blue skys and much calmer on the water. Very tempting to let go the lines and go sailing but we've things to do and the forecast out at sea is still a bit iffy yet.
We need to finish off the electrics - the depth sounder and GPS power feeds need reconnecting and we need to check that things like the nav lights still work and what have you. If time permits we might get around to using some of the spare plywood to improve storage around the nav table too.
I need a shower and some cigarette papers - silly girl in the Co-Op on Sunday put a single packet in the bag not the box of five I asked for and there's nothing worse than having baccy and no papers.
Tomorrow though looks like a definite go, we'll make plans today. We'll have to be aware that conditions by the weekend will not be ideal for coming back upriver - a stiff Westerly is the worst possible wind for getting back in. Best plan will be to time our return to nip across the Rays'n thus avoiding the long beat down the Whitaker that defeated Jane and I in similar conditions earlier in the year.
More to follow later in the day ....
