Bit nippy out. I've just walked from the train station to to the marina, then sat in the cold fabricating a longer shore power cable, then attached that, got heat going, then back in the cold to attach the gas bottle in the cockpit. I'm not leaving the boat again until morning. Late morning. No need for this sort of cold nonsense.

Glad to hear she finally arrived.

All intact I hope

It can be a bit nippy on the marshes when the wind comes in off the North Sea!

Have they got decent wifi up there, or are you on 3g?

Burnham was blistering fast when it worked

It was a bit nippy as we jet washed the decks down ready for our return to swinging next weekend. Got to check the mooring chain tomorrow - another warm job!

Been taking advantage of the first day in a while without rain (but still fairly chilly) to fit the new sprayhood. Gave up when the instructions demanded a drill size I don't have on board (only have whole mm, they called for 3.5) and annoyed that it doesn't seem to match the shape of the deck as well as the perished old one. Sodded off to a beer festival instead, where I have put myself outside a great deal of beer and cider (and am typing very slowly and carefully ). Will go back for take two tomorrow, armed with a selection of non-integer drills from the workshop.

I did rig the blocks for the new mainsheet with some success, but using the frayed old peak halyard from Kindred Spirit. Time to get hold of Barry Boatropes for a new sheet.

3g. They do have wifi, but I can't see it from here.

3g is ok. I managed to watch an episode of top gear last night with little buffering.

On Live Magic, a 3.5mm drill bit is achieved by using the 3mm bit very badly
