Working on outboards and navigational systems as Daniel and Gary visited and we borrowed tools from Jack on a dry and sunny day with a chill northerly breeze.
I find the routine at Horning pleasurable but hard. It is nice to be able to get on with the jobs but the overhead of feeding and running the dog on the one hand and catering for myself on the other somewhat detracts from the endeavour. I worked away at all this first thing, and it was mid-morning before I could get on with my projects. For the most part this was updating the routes and waypoints from my corrected charts and then typing these onto the computerised route planner and printing out the resulting list.

Another interruption was the return of Daniel and his friend Gary Skinner, but I am always pleased to see him and helped and advised him to repair his outboard motor. I got him to borrow the right tools from Jack and seek the correct advice from Ludham so that, though he had not completed the repair by the evening, he had managed to disassemble the faulty float valve and see how to clean it in the morning. I was up late and did not get to bed until midnight and even then without managing to take my normal bath. The weather stayed dry and sunny but there was still that northerly breeze to keep it from getting too hot.
