With the English lockdown coming to an end, well an easement, self catering stays are allowed and so we could visit other locations by boat again. To prepare for our departure we got busy(ish) tidying up the boat as over the winter things had migrated from lockers and cupboards to be strewn everywhere (or so it seemed).
The new voltage meter we needed arrived courtesy of Sandie from Nordhavn Europe and was fitted:
You can see how the new gauges don't have a diffuser panel fitted and so are brighter and starker than the originals.
The main engine was treated to a new air filter and the aircon raw water pump was bled (one of those trying to get behind the genset jobs which we love deeply).
As the planned first run was going to be around to Falmouth (30 hours or so), the little furry visitor needed to go back to her owner. Izzy has amazing bladder control but not that good and she steadfastly refused to "go" on the boat despite trying to tempt her with astroturf in the past. So, we had a long day road trip, dropped off our car into storage and returned Izzy to her owner. That left us ready to head off when the weather decides to play ball. A big high pressure was promised and some lighter winds with something easterly in them too. Might just work out....
