Apart from being a bit breezy, it's been a glorious day weather wise, almost like summer!
The day started in a leisurely fashion with scrambled egg on toast after which we headed into Burnham to spend money at the chandlers and stock up with the ingredients for a decent evening meal at the co-op
Back aboard with the kettle on we set about ticking off some jobs from the to do list. Whilst Jane gave the saloon heading a good clean I tackled the stuck clutch on the anchor windlass. Starbright cleaner lived up to its name on the headlining and WD40 plus some gentle persuasion did the trick with the clutch
I then gave the steering compass a clean up with some perspex cleaner and whilst it doesn't look new at least it's readable now.
That was followed by a damn good scrub and wash down of the decks followed by more of the same in the cockpit.
It was all systems go and the next job ticked off the list was sorting out the sticky bolt on the forehatch followed by drilling some holes in the bottom of the plastic container that we store the meths for the stove in so it doesn't fill up with rain water.
Satisfied with a day well spent, we set about preparing dinner.
Pork tenderloin braised in a cider and red onion sauce with apple, cabbage and leek plus baked potatoes made full use of our special pans ands turned out beautifully. Tiramisu for pudding came straight out of the individual plastic pots it came in which saved a bit of washing up.
We'll soon have finished off the left over cider and the hot water bottles are warming the v-berth as I write. It's home and back to work tomorrow.
