Having arrived in the small hours of Tuesday morning I spent the next couple of days relaxing and attending the Yn Chruinnaght music festival. Julian however was busier. The Peel chandler did have an appropriate bilge pump; it was even the direct replacement for our old one. However the design had changed slightly so there was work to be done to fit it in place so the pipe work did not leak. The one we had ordered online also arrived, so now we have a spare for the next time the pump goes.
When we switched on the running lights while heading to Peel the port one did not come on. At under 7m we are not legally required to have anything except on all round white, but it is better to have the full set. The connector had corroded, but Julian easily fixed this by shortening the power lead and using gel crimps to connect the lamp and the power. Of course this means we will need to cut the lead to remove the lamp, but at least it now works.
We plan to leave Peel on a 7am bridge lift on Monday morning, after all the festivities are over. Meanwhile we have enjoyed our holiday here!
