Wednesday 12th October
Yesterday we went ashore and had coffee and lunch with Chrissy (sisterinlaw) and Chris (Sue’s sister) drove up from Papatoetoe to join us for lunch and to give us a wonderful welcome home package.
The part had arrived for Fred (the auto pilot), so this morning Andrew took Fred apart. Inserting new steel pins into the clutch mechanism, the surgery went well. A couple of short tests shows the patient has recovered to full working order.
