Attempted to remove left-hand bedroom window. All but one of the screws came out. Called in at Springwood Haven Marina to see if they could get the last one out. Very helpful, but had to drill off the head of the screw. No charge!
Moored up just past Bridge 27, rather than risk tying up in Nuneaton with the window very obviously out. Covered it with the hardboard panel.
Engine: 565.5 – 566.2
Masked and re-primed previously primed sections on either side of the bows, and the section around the chimney.
Masked up a strip at the front of the roof, and another section near the chimney, where there had been some corrosion, and treated with Fertan. Partly to experiment with treating spots of rust. Best to do very small sections around each spot, or do larger sections incorporating several spots?
No engine. Batteries are doing OK.
Church on-line. P.m. we called in at Mancetter Marina to replenish the water tank, wash the duck poo from the stern counter and drop off some rubbish. Then down to Spring Wood to get ready for some paint jobs.
Engine: 564.2 – 565.5
Stayed put today. Got up quite late and it was hot. Felt like a day for not doing much.
Ran the engine for hot water for about 30 minutes.
Engine: 563.6 – 564.2
Went to Atherstone to pick up extra shopping. Winded above the flight and came back to the mooring just before Bridge 36.
Nice day for travelling. Very little traffic.
Engine: 562.0 - 563.6
First visit to Erin Mae since Ted & Mary had week at the end of June.
Their engine hours: 533.0 – 562.0
