A busy day of jobs…
We put the clothes in the washing machine on the way to the showers and retrieved them on the way back to hang up on the boat. Unfortunately the strong wind had other ideas and we decided we would be chasing clothes around the marina if we hung them up and the guy on the motor boat offered us his tumble dryer.
Jonny started doing his job … fixing the water pump, fixing the back toilet pump and fixing the leak from the anchor windlass whilst I kept an eye on our clothes and look for our duvet which we had hidden away in the Caribbean.
The duvet was in need of a wash before we could use it and the tumble dryer on the boat behind us was taking a while so I took the washing anfd the duvet back to the launderette and used the big tumble dryers and wash and dried the duvet.
Whilst I was doing this Jonny decided as it was so cold last night he would have a look at the diesel heater – it was working in the UK but we were getting exhaust fumes in the boat – not a great idea!!
We got the washing done and Jonny got the heater working so we went to the supermarket to get some supplies and then on the way back went to customs to check on the status of our Tiki man wooden carving from Tonga. The Tiki man had been taken by customs because he had some 'bore' holes in it indicating that it possibly had creatures living in it. The customs man had taken him to put in the freezer until quarantine could look at it. Quarantine were happy that if anything was in there it was dead and we could take Tiki man back to the boat to de frost with the advice if we found any saw dust near it to put it back in the freezer!!
Back at the boat Jonny added extra lines and fenders as it was blowing around 40 knots and we were in for a windy night.
