Friday morning arrived and it was foggy and cold where was the weather that had been forcasted ?
I had a very long day getting
Toy Box ready for and then finally launching her. I had the impression
that everything was set against her actually getting wet. I shall cut
the story short but I will not be taking her back to her winter berth
near me again. It caused me more work and hassle than ot was worth.
Toy Box was afloat at around
1230 friday. I had several problems with stepping the mast as the
harbour master was very keen. Still we finally got it finished late that
afternoon, or at least I thought I had. The freshly serviced motor
started on first pull. I was pleased with myself untill I realised there
was no cool water comming from it.. I then had to strip the leg down
with the basic tools and try to find the problem. It turned out that
when I put the leg on last week I had managed to misalign the rubber
hose conection to the rest of the system.. Duh.. It´s one of those jobs
that requires 3 hands and an eye on one index finger.
I finaly berthed her in her own berth at around 1830. We were the only vessel moving on the water ! Looking forward to sailing her again.
