| Bow line around a dead tree. Anchors at stern mud weight to keep the boat by the bank no access to dry land! |
1.8°C A cold night, sunny with clouds. On
with the
chores and a few jobs. A rowing four went past heading upstream and
came back again about an hour later and one small speedboat with a large
outboard went roaring past, also heading upstream and came back within an hour
or so. The tree our bows are tied to is still standing and the stern anchors
and mudweight don’t seem to have moved much. Lunch. Mike converted a battery
charger for Ni/Mh AA and AAA rechargeable batteries to run directly on 12v
instead of mains 240v as he thought it was daft to run an inverter just to
recharge batteries. The mains transformer in it was removed and discarded and
replaced by a fixed 9v regulator. The installation was slightly complicated by
the original circuit having two separate DC feeds, one for each pair of batteries,
and a further third separate feed to the control circuits. All the returns were
common. Piece of cake Another small boat went past, an inflatable with
outboard, much slower than the last one. Took photos of the mooring, a little
difficult as we can’t get off the boat.
