Only six days to Christmas. We have our fancy flashing LEDs up in the salon and a small tree with plastic baubles glittering in the corner behind the dining table. There are some nice bottles of fizz and wine in the cupboard but we still need to go shopping for a Christmas pud, custard and mince pies and because they are Christmas for David, sausage rolls.
He's been busy servicing all the winches over the last week. This meant stripping, cleaning, regreasing and refitting eleven winches. Fortunately there's only dirt to remove with the primary winches (the ones we use for the headsail) being the dirtiest. My task now is to make protective covers to slip over them for when they're not in use. David's also stripped and cleaned the two furling gears on the mainsail. All this is time consuming, involved and a messy job but as we're at anchor and with the time to do it, the perfect opportunity.
