Dinner
Dinner starts at about 5:30 with Gin and Tonic and some nibbles. The two primary cooks aboard (David and Bob) conjure something fantastic in the Galley. The TV stays off, and the stereo is brought into action with samples of a wide range of music- most recently Mahler, John Martyn, Fairport Convention and Flying Burrito Brothers! Wine, with dinner of course. The menu depends primarily on whether anyone remembered to take something out of the freezer; Kedgeree (no), Tuna Bake (no), Pork a la Keith with seasonal vegetables (yes), Chicken in spicy parsnip sauce (yes but maybe a mistake!) etc. |

Yacht Maintenance
If you want a job well done, then deploy Bob the Builder - or in this case Bob the Electrician (or sparks as we know him). Here is Bob plugging the boat's power cable back into shore power. The first attempt was the night before when he managed to blow the fuse taking the power out for the entire pontoon (the socket had been dropped in the water...!). Note the euphoria mixed with relief when the mission was accomplished without blue smoke.
