Catching up with jobs - never ending but do feel we keep improving the boat and particularly getting it well set up for cruising. Some jobs are just repairs eg getting sprayhood sewn where stitching had given way, fitting new tap to salt water deck wash pump, fixing loose connection in nav light; but others are new items eg setting up gybe preventer, fitting protective covers to checkstays, fitting a better block/shackle to jib; and others are dealing with new issues eg some of electricity points have the polarity reversed! so we now have a polarity tester and will get a connecting plug wired up with the live and neutral reversed so that if supply is wrong we can use the connector and get polarity back to what it should be!

Now taking a break to watch Murray at Wimbledon!

Best wishes

ps so thinking about which type of job is more satisfying - repairing a fault, improving an existing item or creating/adding something new? Need to re-read Zen and the Art of motorcycle maintenance or perhaps will write Zen and the Art of Boat Maintenance!
