A
cold night, -2.3º C. Sunny but chilly. We noticed that our Polish courtesy flag
was ripping apart at the ends (something to do with the wind), so we set about
making a new one. I’d got some plain white cotton material, so we cut two
pieces and Mike coloured one half with red fabric paint. Then he went to do
engine room jobs, checking the nuts on the drive train (as he’d had it apart
when we were at EHS) checking the water filter, etc, and then repainted the bow
and stern rope fenders with preservative. Lunch. We had trouble sorting the
inverters out to run the TV and satellite plus the PC. In the end I gave up,
the voltage was too low, so Mike had the TV
on to watch the F1 GP from Imola,
Italy, while I made up a new Polish courtesy flag. When the red piece of
material was dry, I stitched two thicknesses of white cotton to two thicknesses
of red to make a new flag (we never found any Polish courtesy flags in any
chandlers). Bill ran his engine after the racing had finished and a bloke
appeared from nowhere and spoke to Bill. He spoke no English but Bill thought
he was a fisherman and was complaining about the noise! You’d find one if you
moved to the moon!! Mike sent an text to Hans to ask him to send the maps to
Malbork. After a beautiful red sunset, the moon rose as a giant orange disc
hanging above the horizon. Central heating on again.
