Too hot for work

Worked through yesterday till the light was gone then lit the oil lamps (very moody) and settled down in the cockpit for a quiet drink. Didn't sleep too well, (hot and muggy) need a new sleeping bag that's easy to get into (probably a double).

Got a load of work done.

• New mooring warps made for both boats;
• Radar reflector hoisted;
• Satnav, sounder, log and radio tested;
• Headsail and main attached and reefed (not sure how to automatically reef the main yet - need some advice from someone with a similar system);
• Dodger lashed to pushpit;
• Tidied the lockers;
• Charged the batteries.

She's looking very smart and the refit we had done was well worth the time and effort I think (will know for sure when the bill arrives).

Left the mooring at about noon and headed back to the yacht club. Cycled back home for a snooze then to Frinton for an early dinner at Cafe 19. Felt very satisfied with the progress so far.

Back to Walden for the weekend (Gus's birthday party).
