As we couldn’t do much work on Imagine we decided to go for a sail. I jump started the engine and we hauled anchor. It was a nice breeze and we sailed to Motohe Island where we had lunch. A bit swelly there so, we went across to Islington Bay on Rangitoto Island. This is where we spent the night along with thirty other boats.The wind was blowing 25 knots and the rain made us appreciate even more our sheltered cockpit.
It has been raining most of the day so we have just been doing things inside. When I went to start the engine to charge the batteries, it wouldn’t jump start. After a lot of work I traced the problem to the starter motor. Jump starting the battery it the last few days increased the current to the starter motor and it worked, but today even the extra current wouldn’t turn the starter motor.
While I was working on the engine, B attacked the wood cupboard and my tool draw. Now the wood is sorted into sizes and my tools are all neatly laid out. It looks wonderful. I wonder how long they will stay like that? From now on I have to ask permission to access my tools and make sure I put them back at the same place hahaha…Who said that we are living the dream life?
The rain has stopped just long enough to give us a beautiful sunset.
