It’s been a busy, if tiring day. We were just thinking about getting up in a leisurely fashion when the phone rang. Peter Mason wanted to know if we would be prepared to move Sanity Again into the yard today, as he was shuffling boats anyway, and it would be convenient to get her into position for Saturday’s Open Day.
Nothing loath, since being in the yard has advantages like a shoreline hook up, we swiftly got ready to face the day, and moved Sanity Again through, initially onto the water point, then to the shop mooring for diesel and pump out, and finally into the yard.
In the process, we investigated why the toilet tank gauge has started to read very low. Removing it, and dipping the tank manually through the hole thus opened up, showed that although the gauge was reading half full, the tank was in fact around three quarters full, as we expected, it being two weeks after the last pump out.
There are a number of possible reasons for this - we’ll monitor the situation for the next couple of weeks and see how we go.
Once in the yard, we’ve been cleaning the outside of the boat, whilst other Braidbar owners, namely Graham from Priscilla, Peter and Gill from Cala and Bill from New Dawn, helped to prepare La Suvera for her owners. La Suvera is Braidbar number 124, and will be going out on her shake down cruise immediately after her owners have joined in the fun this weekend.
Last night we had a merry time in the Boar’s Head – tonight we are all catering for ourselves, then folk are joining us on Sanity Again for a small libation or two.
