Working day

One of the ways that Julian has managed to get enough work leave for sailing this summer is that he promised his boss that he would work for a day in the middle of the weeks away. That meant that this Monday he needed to be in the "office". The essentials of this are shore power, and good internet. By coming back to Port Louis we got both.

I was intending to do some painting and varnishing of Robinetta while Julian worked inside, but this of course depends on the weather. After a week of hot, HOT, HOT!! we got rain. The morning was not too bad, just light drizzle really, but in the afternoon the skies opened, and not just normal rain, but torrential rain that found every space in the seams opened up by the heat.

We were away at the supermarket when it really got going, so there was no chance to get the cockpit cover on. It was the forward bulkhead that let the most rain through, with constant drips coming though the new deck beam. Hopefully it will let up tonight, or we will be very wet by morning!
