Kingfisher Yacht Cyprus

 

 

 

 Scott and Millicent's kids were young, so it was just a short sail. Anchor for lunch and back.  Hold on to boat and hold on to child!

  Well, it's not every day you get to sail with someone who has sailed all the way round the world… in a sailing race! It was great to have a day sailing with Ruth and Suzie. Though I was so tired I reefed the sails so that I didn't have to think too much! I only realised that when I got home and fell asleep for a few minutes. There are even a couple of photos of me which is unusual!

  I had a problem or two with the Selva 6 HP outboard tending to stall at low RPM. Cleaned the spark plug (which was dirty) but… found the internal fuel tank had become detached from the cover and was spewing out plastic fibres as it was now being ground to pulp by the flywheel! So removed it and covered and then filled the hole and now re-sprayed it. Couldn't get the matching colour but looks quite smart with the lighter blue cover.

 My birthday (and Christmas) present from my wife… a new bimini cover. Goodness Liza looks like there are a lot of lines around the boat! But this angle the cover colour matches well Sunshine... still sunny October in Cyprus! OK, so the bimini cover does show up as brighter than the stack pack!
