Filled up again
With no bilge pumps working, emptying by hand is the only option. I have rigged up an old bilge pump (that doesn't work on automatic) & I have put crocodile clips on the cables, & I attach those to a "stand alone" battery which pumps water out to save me doing it by hand, & "the job's a good un".
I put down a couple of duckboards i painted yesterday, but I still have a few more to do if it ever dries.
The engine is ready for collection & now I have to arrange for Martin to be present to let us in, I have to arrange the minibus to be available at that time, I need to have hands to lift it off the bus at the marina, & we need the crane to lift it back into the boat.
I am supposed to be "taking it easy" when will I get the chance? lol
