'I don't 'Do' Christmas'. That is what I said to the Hobbits some day's before Christmas. However, I forgot to factor in that most everybody else round here does! So it has been a slack few days. A big concern over the sate of my vessel is the engine cooling system. The return of the fresh water cooling has been terminated and the calorifier has been taken out of circuit. What could this indicate? Significant Googling suggests an overheating problem. Still more Googling indicates Reverse flushing and treating with vinegar might be a useful starting point. So I am happy to have that plan to go forward with.
Other engine issues are the need for a replacement diesel filter and sea water strainer, neither seem too difficult to achieve.
I have been working through the syllabus of the RYA day skipper course as well as considering soft furnishing, LED lighting, VHF Radios and varnish among other things....
Anyway, a picture of us 'Doing' Christmas day
