Its been a bit blowy

Its been a bit of a blowy weekend and what with the wind direction it has been blowing straight at Naughty-Cal all weekend, effectively pinning her to the pontoon.

Still it has been another excuse to get yet more little jobs finished and struck off the list. First up the new Sealine clock was fitted and looks very smart in its new location above the galley.

Secondly was refueling. This wasnt as bad as we had anticipated and 60 litres was enough to fill the tank to the brim. Anymore and it would have overflowed so we were saved a second visit to the petrol station. The only slight problem with this job was trying to balance the diesel can on the gunnel whilst the boat was blowing around.!!

The final job for the weekend was fitting the heater timer onto the Webasto diesel heater. Our fears about this job being difficult were quickly disolved as the unit appeared to be plug and play. So with a 12v power supply attained and the unit screwed to the wall all appeared to be going well. Until we tried to switch it on and discover we have a faulty unit that wont even switch on. Never mind the wiring is all done now and when the new unit arrives this week, it should be a five minute job to fit it and get it working.
