Wednesday 25th May
The swell is dying and the rain has stopped and blue sky above. The water is still cloudy with low visibility so we did a few jobs onboard. We had discovered a small hairline crack in the fuel header tank leaking fuel. So with amazing metal putty it was soon repaired.
Next was the wind generator that has stopped generating power. Liz, Jack and Andrew carefully removed the generator from its mast while Imagine was still rocking. Once down Andrew checked it over and detected one of the windings are high resistance.
While this was going on Sue was armed with rain water and vinegar washing port holes and hatches, Andrew attempted to help dry one of the port holes and pulled on a lifeline and ended up overboard along with the drying cloth!
That was enough work for the day. A swim around the boat was in order before lunch. Again this afternoon was for just chilling.
