After our sail on Sunday, we discovered to our horror that our newly
installed wind generator had ceased to function! A replacement was
delivered to the boat by 12 noon yesterday and after 4 hours of
standing 3 metres above the water on top of the solar panels, Rod had
the new one up and running! This yachting thing is very character
building - there is no such thing as "smooth sailing". We then rushed
off to Fruit and Veg City to do that last shop. Comment from a fellow
cruiser on seeing us ferrying loads of fresh produce to the boat - "I
thought you weren't taking crew"! We had a farewell dinner at Mariners
Wharf with family. So now we have the day to sort ourselves and the
boat out and plan to leave tomorrow morning to catch what we hope will
be a good weather window.
