Wednesday 5th June

A windy day, but we managed to send Ron up the mast to re-fit the wind vane and halyard lines that we take down for the winter.  We also managed to get the mainsail, genoa and screecher fitted, so we’re now ready for a sail!  The dinghy engine would not start, so Ron dismantled and cleaned the carb which somehow had lots of oil in it – unusual for a 4 stroke engine!  Having hardly worked on engines since the late 70’s Ron was pretty happy to get the engine working again.  Since Teresa doesn’t know anything about engines, she had to go for a bike ride

The weather was great, with perfect winds for our first trip to Burlington, and its 10 day long Jazz Festival.  Unfortunately we didn’t have time for the trip today.
