Ready for the next voyage

Wednesday, and the awaited part arrived for a final repair. Nigel finished his work and we are just about ready for the sea tomorrow.

An experiment in refrigeration is under way. The bags for ice cubes haven't worked too well, so a large piece of pink foam insulation has now been carved out to encapsulate the ice cube bag against the evaporator plate. It remains to be seen if Heath Robinson is alive and well.

We consoled ourselves with a second afternoon on the beach - actually only an hour or so - as the temperatures are still mid thirties. The sea is wonderfully warm and inviting.
