Sharon came down to see how the engine service went..and as usual with someone watching it took far longer---tools didn't seem to fit,,,some gaskets in the service kit seem to have been left out..
We had to visit Lymington to get the extra bits,,but Sharon knew the chandler from working at the Boat Shows so handy discount obtained.
Once all the bits were obtained it went very smoothly, even the fuel flow was established with ease...the hardest bit being Sharon's giggles as she blew down the fuel line.
The main benefit was having a note taker who religiously recorded what size tool and and part went where...very useful for next time.

| Rigged and ready to go...almost |
Launching is planned for Thursday,,,with departure on the tide for Newtown.
I still have a couple of jobs to do ..the main sail isn't properly laced on, and I need to replace the lifting line on the drop rudder as well as not forgetting to tighten the bolt on the lifting rudder or risk losing it at sea......
Roll on Thursday...and hope the weather outlook improves...
