Passing trade

Monday 25 July

I lay at peace today, idly watching occasional cargo ships passing by on their way to the timber wharf in Ipswich.  Skipper continued his electronics project, wiring in the second depth sounder, that reads straight down rather than ahead, and also provides the helm with data on my speed through the water and current sea temperature around me.  Apparently all this, and the chart plotter display, can be viewed down below on an iPad, so at least one of them can keep warm.  Mate also had a gadgets day, reading her Kindle and updating the budget spreadsheet on the laptop.  I know I’m expensive, but I’m sooo worth it.  The galley smelt lovely as she baked IMG_8786 some bread, although Skipper did comment that it tasted more like a scone.
