Better day

We're both feeling a bit better today and have had a productive one, what's more. The Ocado delivery turned up in very good time, and was all present and correct. As always the "Buddy Trainer" and his trainee willingly carted five crates of stuff down the pontoon.

We're having a bit of a restocking, you gather.

After lunch, the weather looked quite mild and pleasant. There was a bit of showery stuff around, but not too much wind. We'd planned to pump out and diesel tomorrow, but this was too good to miss.

I managed to back onto the side service wharf despite another boat slightly overhanging its end. The guy off the other boat took our centreline which helped greatly. We thought at first that it had all been wasted effort when the pump failed to start when I put the token in.

However, when Josh came across to do the diesel, he gave the machine an expert thump and it burst into life.

Once we were all sorted, we walked over to the office to settle up and then carried on round the marina.

We'll have a quiet evening now and get on with more spring boat fettling tomorrow.
