33:02.9W It’s another lovely but grey day. One day to go. ETA 14:00 UTC tomorrow,
Wednesday. We’ll be happy to have a rest...did I say rest. Main engine and the
small generator to service. Have to remove the salt water from the combustion
chambers of the bigger Onan generator as it has created a hydrostatic block...in
other words you can’t compress water so it won’t turn over. Refuel at least
4,500 litres of diesel fuel, buy 80 litres of engine oil, do the shopping for
the next two weeks, remove the foresail and send it to the sailmaker for
repairs, and get rid of some of the rust. The easy life of yacht crews...but
it’s a lot better than working down the mine on King Island. Where is King
Island??? The winner gets 1 kg of Scheelite...maybe King Island blue cheese
would be more
appreciated. |
