20 May Yet more restoration and repairs

It's been another week of boat jobs. David has repaired a faulty wire connection on the windlass. You could only lower the anchor from the cockpit control, not from the button on the windlass because, he discovered, an electrical wire had sheared. A simple repair made difficult by having to finagle the new wire through a full and curved conduit.

I've been busy with the sewing machine repairing holes and worn stitching on the sunshades – essential kit to keep the boat interior a little cooler although the AC is doing a great job. I've replaced sun damaged holding straps on the seats for the kayak and sewn Sunbrella covers for the kayak handles which also suffer from UV damage.

Alas, life on a boat isn't a continual round of cocktails and sunsets.
