Getting there

Spent another overnighter on TB yesterday. Fixing (and breaking) several things. Fortunately the previous owner had read my blog and had decided to come to my rescue with reefing the main (and the jib). Isn't everything so simple when you know how? He seemed concerned that he was interfering but I really appreciated his help and hope that he can join me on a trip soon.

Lost the port haliard and still haven't managed to fix the masthead tri-colour nav light. Removed the old radio wiring ready for having the DSC and chart plotter installed in the deckhouse on Thursday. Also expect to have a new revcounter sender fitted at the same time alongside the quay.

Motored round to Titchmarsh marina to top up MABEL's diesel. Fuel gauge now seems to be working (it only likes it when it is completely full).

Today a company should be visiting to install the reflective coating to the conservatory glass (to reduce heat). Might get a late chance to get back on the water this afternoon.
