Everything is arriving at once, the water tanks are back and sitting in the bilge, while the painting and varnishing of the cockpit is finished. We were surprised to find these three blue packages sitting by our front door, an early arrival of our sails from Hong Kong!
Nice, new, white "wardrobe" stacked neatly on the boom, now to decide on an overcoat (new sailcover) colour style etc, decisions, decisions!!!
The staysail also needs a new coat due to increase in size!!,
Neil was sent aloft hoisted by the muscular Jackie to release the forestay for the fitting of its outer coating of a roller furling,
All was going well and after several remeasures assembly began, until as usual, a problem!!
One of the tracks is damaged. Feeling a bit disillusioned, riggingonly.com was contacted and brilliant service within 15 min they had spoken to Harken and another piece of track is on its way!!!! So hopefully the furler will be up on Thursay and we can get back to attacking the anchorages around the bay.
