Well, having travelled from North Wales to here (Milford Haven) without visiting a Marina for a week we had a few things to do. Priority was a full english breakfast at the marine cafe to set us up for the day. That done, filling up with fuel and water, and while the hose was out we gave the boat a quick rinse, to get all the salt off. There were clothes and bedding to be laundered and Lou gave the boat a hoover and a wash through, hopefully the last time we need to do this before getting home! Yes, we are thinking now in terms of days and weeks to go, instead of how many days have gone by. I bought a couple of pulley blocks from the chandlery to renew the screecher halyard system, although I’m not sure who is going up the mast to retrieve the halyard. Lastly there was a trip to the supermarket to stock up on essentials. Oh, one more thing, we have had to store the fenders on the deck (very untidy) because the forward locker had the Screecher very roughly stuffed in it. So with a nice pontoon to lay it out on, we got that rolled up and stowed away nicely. Now there’s room for the fenders as well!
Time for a beer, and a piece of cake, funny combination but it was too hot for coffee. It was also too hot to sit on the boat which in the marina was in a bit of a sun trap, so we went for a walk in the nature reserve at the end of the marina, nicely shaded by trees.
By the end of the day I’d completed nearly 19000 steps, it was definitely time for bed.
