Mostly Ready to go.

So we have spent a day trailing around Cork in an effort to buy a new banjo bolt for the fuel filter without success. We are nearly back at the boat and are hoping that the weather will permit us to leave on Wednesday, or at least before the end of the week. We are both well, but despite the beauty and safety of Drake's Pool, Harbour Rot is beginning to set in. So fingers crossed that the forecast for the next few days is good. Unfortunately the forecast for Sole an area just to the South of us is " South Westerly 5 to 7 perhaps gale 8 later". Maybe we shall try on Thursday and have a day on board relaxing tomorrow.

We have a picture or two, but they were left on the boat - sorry. We are considerably better at walking and reading bus timetables. Interestingly, motor factors are the same in England - long wait and they don't have the exact part required ;-D

Hey guys!

Hope you've been able to get the engine fixed.

I meant to phone on my b'day but got distracted by friendly locals, champagne, cider, drinking games, and lots more cider. Char and I were in Clovelly (N Devon) and managed to join the local students (who were back home working for the summer) for a lock-in and some late night swimming.

Now back at work. Boo!

I've had more post for you guys than I normally get in a month! One from the docs saying 'It would appear from our records that you have not received the completing dose of your Hep A course. Hep A is a potentially fatal disease, contracted through eating or drinking contaminated food and water, usually whilst abroad on holiday.' Thank goodness you're not abroad! It sounds like you've got some protection from the dose you have had but it doesn't say how long it lasts for.

Love you lots, Exx
