Just a quick update really.
I have decided to stay at these moorings a while longer, I needed to sort out a few electrical bits, I bought a small inverter for the TV to save powering up the 2kw one just for a 50watt telly, it came with battery terminal clamps like you get on a set of jump leads, that was no good so I sourced the correct cable and terminals locally and have wired it directly to my 12v distribution board, I also fitted properly the 12v usb/cigar lighter which I bought ages ago and had done a temporary job on,
and I have ordered a laptop car charger from Amazon, that should arrive at the pickup locker on Monday, I want to get a 12v fridge later in the year and then the 2kw inverter will only need to be used for the washing machine.
Apart from that I have started to look at repainting the engine bay which is quite rusty and at the moment holding quite a lot of water, the bilges obviously get water in them and the bilge pump clears that mostly, but I don't think the bay directly beneath the engine should be like a fish tank, and it does not appear to drain into the bilges so bent double and not sure what exactly I was hoping to find I began cleaning it out, but it won't be a five minute job, I will need to do a little each day as my poor old back cannot cope with the awkward confined space, pictures will follow when complete, may be October!
It's very windy here tonight, it's a bit like being at sea, should rock me to sleep though :-)
