Horbury for the day.


A bit of an unintentional stop over here.


When we started the engine this morning I noticed that the number two alternator had a very discernible wobble. Just a loose bolt on the mounting bracket as it turned out, had it been the number one alternator no more than a thirty second job, but as Ubique is a Trad Stern the job entailed stripping out the engine box.


So what you might think, whats he going on about?


Well....... the engine box on one of these boats is an integral part and as such is permanently fixed in place, compounding the problem is me using most of it to store just about anything I can on the top.

Two, yes two fractious hours I spent in this heat getting that box out. Still, I know how to do it now. Think positive, think positive, think positive Ommmmm.




A nice little mooring though, as the sun gave us everything it had today we were rather glad not to have been standing out on the back deck.




Here are some people actually swimming in the navigation, I would really think it through very carefully before getting intentionally into this water.

Guess what...............it has just started to rain!!!!!!!

The great British weather strikes again.

Until tomorrow.....................................
