Stormbound, catching up with the chores

We are probably going to stay in Ardglass until at least Thursday because of the weather. Since we have shore power here I went out and bought a little electric heater, and we are now cosy in the cabin, although it is very cold and windy outside even though the sun is shining. There are plenty of things to do inside though. So far we have put the tap on the hand basin so it does not leak, taken the toilet apart so the water inlet through hull leaks less. Shifted the ballast to clean up beneath it and check there is no water coming in.... Tomorrow I will wash down the paint work so it is white again.

One of our friends commented that we had done really well to get Robinetta ready to sail only one day after launching, but we are doing things now that would normally be done before leaving port.
