11.2º C overnight. Chilly. Sunny spells cloudy later.
Mike installed some capacitors in the wiring for the big new powerful extraction fan in the engine room.
He started off well by melting a test lead by attaching it to a live connection
first and accidentally earthing it! Not a good start. Set off at 8.20 a.m. following Rosy. Then
it was my turn for a disaster. I stepped back into the cabin, after tidying up
the ropes and fenders on the front deck, and had a huge stabbing pain in my back. I took
two pain killers and lay on the bed. I managed to make some tea 10.30
a.m. then crawled back on to the bed. I took some more pain killers at
midday and made some salad, just in time for Mike to have his lunch after tying
up at KP 34 Bramsche. Bill had no map for this end of the MLK and had forgotten
where we’d moored on the way over. Mike said he’d remarked first thing that
we’d got a shorter day today - so he knew what kilometer post to look out for -
but then he went past it! I helped tie up by throwing a rope around a bollard. A
camper van was parked by the slipway and a tent had been pitched there too.
Some people
had slipped a small speedboat and were zooming up and down in it.
After lunch Mike unloaded the moped and went off to get the car. It was 2 p.m.
