One drawback of the Nordhavn 47 is the amount of glassfibre to polish each year. As the weather had been disgusting when she was out of the water just before Easter (and the captain had been very ill...) , there was no chance to polish the hull. So, today we started. No further comment. The never ending task has begun for 2013. The town, which pretty much shuts on Sundays, was invaded by a lot of P&O cruise ship people who were ferried into the harbour from the ugly block of flats anchored just offshore. A good reason to avoid the town and do some polishing. If you have to do chores, a nice environment helps of course - looking from the mooring to Castle Cornet:
For the technical types, there is little to report. Engine room checks etc completed and nothing to fix or tinker with after the run over. Looks like we will need about 2,800 litres of fuel (gulp) when I call to book a road tanker time slot tomorrow. For the economically minded folks, buying marine diesel at the fuel dock in the main harbour is way cheaper than buying it in the UK. Having it delivered from a road tanker in St Sampsons ( a couple of miles north) is way cheaper still. We like that!
