We slept on Robinetta for the first time since last summer Easter Saturday. The long trip is starting to feel close. We spoke with Barry Watt who Paul Drake got to look at her and he explained the problem we had with the engine coming over from Mersea. Apparently Yanmar diesels have a mild steel oil pipe running below the raw water pump at the front of the engine. When the pump leaks, sea water falls on the mild steel pipe. A recipe for corrosion. So that was our oil leak. Barry will replace it with a cupro-nickel pipe.
We fitted the new spirit cooker, which works really nicely, and wired in the new tiller pilot. I moved all the electric cables away from the area where the stove will go if we get around to fitting it.
We are still sorting out the halyards.
