Well we are back at the boat now, Kathy seems to like it, the journey was fine. I was very relieved to have got everything through the customs without issue, it was all supposed to be free of duty, but they can be difficult with boat parts sometimes. I also had bags of wholemeal flour which looked well dodgy in their clear plastic freezer bags. The boat was just as I left it, AirCon running, no smells, and no sign of life. By the time we had unpacked and picked up some basic stuff from the local supermarket it was nearly midnight, so off to bed.
This morning we collected the new anchor from the marina office and I fitted it, now I have made two new problems, where to put the old 60lb CQR, and how to make the new Spade anchor not rub on the whisker stays.
Getting the old anchor off and the new one on was hard work on my poor broken shoulder, either I’m becoming an old man quickly or 60lb is a lot of weight to dangle on a chain.
I will leave the details of the trip so far to Kathy who is writing her blog entry as I speak.

Great to see you back. Looking forward to hearing the news.
The adventure recommences! Where is Kathy’s blog?
She’s still working on it Bruce, the problem is down to her being a qualified proofreader and a latent JK Rowling. However I think the first draft will be going live soon ?
It needs to, it’s half past midnight and I’m having to type on my tablet while Kathy uses the macbook.
Managed to fix a few more faulty lights tonight and fit the AIS aerial, so we’re getting there.
