It'll have to be a brief entry tonight for reasons that'll become obvious
Slept like a log, got up very late by any measure let alone mine. Decided forecast was pants, staying put. Full English brunch followed by de-barnacle exercise on outboard. Cursing and swearing at whichever idiot didn't anti-foul the prop at the same time as doing the leg. It was probably me.
Application of generous coating of Propshield purchased at vast expense from marina chandlery was followed by a walk into town in the rain.
Very nice coffee, not much else until we walked up the hill towards the co-op where the adjacent discount shop offered up a hand drill, a selection of drill bits and a cheap multimeter to make up the gaps in the onboard tool kit
Purchased ingredients for a proper evening meal, walked back to boat, cooked meal, ate meal, drank beer.
Discussed plans for tomorrow - both keen to get back on schedule and make it into Tollesbury tomorrow. That means arriving at the Nass beacon by no later than midday and that in turn means a pre-dawn departure. Alarm set for 4:00 am
Nav light check and lo, once again the wiring to the port deck level nav light has failed. Fixed that. Found masthead LED light u/s too. Traced that to corrosion in the deck connector at the mast base. Fixed that.
Tidied up the mess made fixing things. Wrote stupid blog entry so I don't get moaned at about missing blog entries! Going to sleep now.
