Repaired starter arrived this aft. And installed in record time - I have had enough practise.
Is there a curse on E dock? I have had a bit of a running joke with George as to which of us would get away first. George was off this morning so I conceded defeat ; he returned within the hour with a broken heat exchanger. We helped him into a slip and he will now be waiting for a replacement after the long weekend. Baring any further disasters we should be off in the morning.
OTHER NEWS:
1- we chatted with a guy today from Piers island. ( the one near Schwartz bay that the tide was dragging us to yesterday) who said they were up all night keeping a cougar away from their horses. Apparently they swim to islands after the deer.
2- we spent our idle time well. Andy re- did a splice on one of the bumpers and I had Richard help me go up the mast for inspection and to clean moss from the spreader.
3- for those of you wanting menu details, last night we had ' one pan meat paddies' > meat, onions, carrots and potatoes cooked in covered fry pan. Today we had ham and omelettes for brunch. Dinner will be salad, pork chops, spiced rice.
4 the 2 stove top espresso machine can't keep up with coffee demand. Tomorrow I am going to do an experiment with using espresso ground coffee( that is all we have) in a stove top perculator. It will be like cowboy coffee, Italian style, I expect.
