I was up early, it was quite overcast and consequently very cool in the breeze, so off I went getting the mainsail on to the rig, I had thought this would take an hour or two, but it took about three hours and by the end I was very hot in the blazing sun, and I burnt my shoulders as well. Still the sail looks in great shape, needs a good cleaning.<\/p>\n

Very strong reinforcements around the key areas like the reef points<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Notice the little light on the top of the pile, just about boom height, that won’t survive a crash jibe \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had also been squirting WD40 into the cover plate for the emergency tiller over the last 24 hours, this morning I managed to free it and see if the tiller actually works, which it did, very reassuring.

I was now able to clear up the crap on the deck and give it a hose down, much cleaner, but also much easier to spot the areas that need attention. Mostly rust stains on the fiberglass.<\/p>\n

She look happy enough sitting in the berth, hoping to move to a better spot soon, once I find one with power.<\/p>\n

You might notice the top of the pile is a little\u00a0different now \ud83d\ude41<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also found a strange pintel type thing sticking out the front of the mast, any ideas ?<\/p>\n

\"Something
Something to do with that old tale, what was it, “Captain bates doing something in the rigging” I can’t remember \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I took a walk along the coastal path to Tesco and spent a fortune on stuff for me and the boat.\"bridge<\/p>\n

A different Tesco to the one I went to last time, but just as big. I have noticed that they have taken the Tesco name, and some of the value brands, but not much else, certainly “The customer comes first\/is alwalys right” concept got lost on the way. As with all the supermarkets I have visited so far, asking a member of staff the question “Do you know where the ‘salt\/milk\/coffee.. insert anything you like’ is kept, you will get a look of confusion, with a response of no, said in a way that should also include the phrase, “I only work here, stop bothering me”. Today they were upset that at the checkout the Oven glove I bought didn’t have a barcode, normally they just throw it to the side, end of story, you cant have it. but at Tesco I was asked if I would like to wait while they get the price, when I said yes, they seemed shocked and irritated, what was worse, when I got home, I realised they had just picked up the first oven glove they saw with a bar code which\u00a0was twice the price of the one I wanted. Still I got enough ingredients to have a delicious tuna salad for dinner tonight.<\/p>\n
