Well the last two days have been a bit of a trial. Installing and plumbing the watercoolling for the fridge condenser proved a lot more difficult than I imagined.....typical boat stuff..the hole is not quite big enough..the hose is not quite long enough..the connector is an odd size and nothing fits it...but in the end its all done ready for Darrin to install the compressor.
Then the next thing is to get the old mainsheet traveller off...well, typical boat stuff...all the bolts came out except the last two..enlisted the aid of the local boatbuilder who spent 2 hours with a horizontal saw cutting it off...but its off now thank goodness.
The sun is sort of shining this morning so I'll finish off the wiring for the fridge compressor and then tackle some of the outside tasks like the dorade boxes and the mainsail battens whcih need to be shortened...thats another story !

The old traveller off at last and the new one out of its box and ready to go on....it needs a couple of fillets made up to go underneath as the curve on the beam is just too much to bolt down to.
