Safety inspection carried out this morning with 2 items
found.
My lifejacket water activated
light battery was 2 years out of date ( obviously missed last year for AZAB
too).
2nd item was 3 extra hand flares
required. This I tried to blag out of as we are
in the race division and have to meet World Sailing Category 1 regulations which
does not require these extra 3 in the grab bag as one can count the ships set as
would plan to take those if had to abandon to the liferaft. Only bonus of the 3
extra flares is in 2024 when expire will have some extra flares for the November
firework party and have been told how to make them into a Catherine Wheel. What
fun that will be.
All fixed now and signed off.
Boom gooseneck toggle arrived and installed, a lot less
slack/wobble in the boom.
Dobie done today, almost a month after leaving not too
bad I think.
