More work on outboards and navigational systems with Daniel and Gary, upgrading my Decca navigator system before an earlier and more enjoyable bedtime
A similar day to yesterday with Daniel and Gary coming over just after lunch (when they had got up) to complete the work on his outboard motor. I helped them again with getting the boat and motor into the river and Gary polished up the speedboat as Daniel worked on the engine, so the result was very satisfactory. I had gone to the shops in Horning whilst walking the dog this morning and so bought more milk, a paper and some of the home-cured ham from the local butcher. I really enjoyed this ham for lunch and tea later and was glad at making the find.

Between other things, I finished the list of waypoints and then managed to down-load them into the 2000D Decca Navigator and made up a route for a test. Then tested out the existing electronics which I found to work perfectly. Before starting the process of installing the new 2000I interface to upgrade the system, I documented the existing connections and worked out where the new box was to fit and what wire I would need to get in the morning. Broke off earlier in the evening than yesterday to be able to update these last two days' journal and have my bath and get to bed at a reasonable time for once.
