After breakfast, the front cratch doors were removed and they, and the
cratch boards themselves, were lightly sanded and given a first coat of Osmo
Polyx-Oil. The result is very pleasing.
We walked to the chandlery. The winds at Syke’s are still strong but
nothing like the strength of wind once clear of the tree cover at Syke’s. We
have been sat here now for over a month and, except for Beccles and Gaia, we
had been the only boat. We cannot understand why nobody else has chosen to stop
in such a lovely spot, seeming to prefer to be subject to the elements closer
to the marina.
Susan had a chimney roof plate in stock but, after carrying it all the
way back, we found it is the wrong size, so a 6” one will have to be ordered.
The wind made it seem quite cold and so we mainly stayed indoors, seeing
Danny and Jemima just briefly.
Unfortunately, the internet was so poor we could not watch any TV and
so just spent the day quietly and had early nights.
