It has been an electric day, of installing a new miracle-gizmo to solve charging problems. Cleared the prospected space. Nice box arrives late morning. Unpack with anticipation. Admire the colour, design and build quality. Read the instructions. Read them again. Compare unit with the instructions. What’s missing? What else do I need? Back to the shop. Everything now. Eight hours later, having checked the instructions one more time, time to test. Turn on the switches, set the throttle, push the buttons and start. Scan the gauges. Everything looks right. Sigh of relief. Let run. Test by turning on the kettle. Instant response, as predicted. Good. Stop engine and clear up and put away. Now realised how tired and hungry. MacDonalds right next door. No brainer. Excellent pommefrites, tasty tomato ketchup, tough chicken. Hunger tamed. Back to boat and strawberries and cream. Succulent. TV on. Zapp. TV off. Write blogg.
Very early to bed tonight for a very early start tomorrow. Got some time to make up. Almost a westerly gale today, reported by incoming boats, telling stories, so maybe an electric day wasn’t so bad after all. Lighter winds forecast for tomorrow, still westerly, which is reasonably OK. We’ll see.
