WE have escaped from Cornwall at last......much later than normal. Back to Petroc yesterday and now trying to get everything sorted so we can cut loose the apron strings tomorrow. It has been challenging!!
Low batteries when we arrived, eventually traced to dud shore power lead.....
Water wouldn`t flow....eventually obliged when air was blown down......now working, more or less......keeps switching on which is annoying.
Gas was reluctant to flow but eventually came good.
My request to wash and polish the whole boat was interpreted as sides and maybe roof....and no corners were included! Nor was the cratch or aft cockpit.
Heating wasn`t working which meant no hot water in the morning....
To crown it all Loo is not working and that cant be fixed here so out with the Porta potti.
I did seriously wonder why we do this.......however I suppose after sitting idle for nearly 7 months........
Tomorrow is another day and there is just one job left for the yard to fix, Part of the pelmets which house the led lighting has fallen down and requires a man with some screws.......that is not Geoff.....
We are on a promise of 9 am tomorrow.......
The heating was eventually fixed by turning on at the main box under the inverter. We have only had the boat 11 years and didn`t know it was there! It had been left off after it was serviced!!!
Shop and drop delivered on time so just shopping for fresh things tomorrow and the plan is to set sail....or chug off.
Watch this space.
