Engine failure

Heading out across the bay and I lost drive .. put up main sail and reached back & forth till a helper (Dave) arrived to help me. Put dingy into the water and sailed into the marina, dropped the mail and dingy pushed me into my berth. A new experience 🤙🏻

Wayne Girdlestone - Haha yeah was a bit stressful initially as I had everything stowed away so not much time to get a sail up. Then just waited till I could find a willing helper to drive my dingy

Motor over to Diamond Harbour

Cold with a light to southerly blowing… had to wait around for a ship to dock then headed over and picked up a mooring for the night.

Back to the marina

Nice easy motor back to the marina… one plus about motoring, batteries were full at the end of the day :-) Was cold once back but a good day on the water. #MeTime

Gary glass off on the way out… crisp start to the day but did warm up in the sun a little. Spent the day on anchor catching up on some paperwork.
