Things to fix

Safely in Hartlepool after what turned out to be a more challenging trip than we had hoped. More on that later.

Just a to-do list for now for things that broke so far this season.

Handy Billy. Small double dinghy block to replace failed one.

Starboard running light. Check connection.

Parrel beads. Replace broken ones.

George. New mount. George (our TP22 tiller pilot did a great job in following seas but the old mount broke completely. The new rudder seems to have brought the tiller aft so a dedicated mount behind the backstay cleat is now sensible.

Jib sheet blocks. Need new fixings to the cabin.

Staysail. New tie to the horse.
