More maintenance

Sunday 29 April

It’s true what they say about cruising: maintenance in nice places. Compared to their research closer to the centre of Copenhagen, my berth here is relatively cheap, and it’s looking like it’s just as well, as we’re likely to be here several days yet.

The forecast for Monday and Tuesday is not pretty, and the list of urgent jobs is growing: trace the source of water ingress into the autopilot and gearboxes before they’re reinstalled, fix the Webasto heating that keeps faulting and refusing to keep us warm, hoist Skipper up the mast to remove/repair/replace the lightning-damaged wind indicator: need a calm day for this one!

Mate quietly took advantage of shore power to work on her current sewing project – the list of those is quite extensive, too.
