Robinetta went back
in the water on Friday 5th July, and Paul helped me put
her on a temporary berth much closer to the open end of the creek.
His help was needed for two reasons; I did not know where I was
going, and the engine throttle cable had broken, so any revs above
idle needed someone to manually adjust the lever on the engine.
We got Robinetta on
the berth without problems, and Barry promised to get the engine
fully serviced before we needed her. He spotted us aboard this morning, and came over with a list of completed work.
Remade contact on

overhauled starter

This was Robinetta’s
first major engine service since leaving Holyhead, and some things
had obviously been needing doing for a while.
