Up at 7am and straight in to trying to sort out the
water pump - circuit board dismantled to access further fuses - all appeared ok.
Circuit diagram now downloaded from the manufacturer and we psoitively
identified which fuse. Changed it and voila! - on close inspection of he failed
fuse, what looked like a dirty mark was in fact the fuse having blown. Power to
water pump restored - but then problem with the pump itself leaking and not
building pressure - dismantled - new filter and finally got it working ok.
Meanwhile engine oil change, diesel filter changes. Too much crawling around in
confined spaces with diesel fumes - I thought this was a
holiday!
Skipper now relaxed that jobs back on track and a very
good lunch of Moules by Michel, washed down with a warm Rose. More
boats arriving and the anticipation building.
Ian has cycled a marathon distance back and forth to the
Supermarche and the oil recycling facility - thank goodness for the
Brompton.
Skipper has just produced his list of jobs for tomorrow
but that's another day. Weather a balmy 27 degrees and were of to the bar now
for a bit of mingling with other crews and comparing the woes of boat
maintenance.
Able seaman Colin.
