Power struggle

We are still obsessed with the battery capacity. I can't work out if a) there is an issue with our battery system b) the fact we have a battery monitor that is so easy to read is making us paranoid (whereas before ignorance was bliss), or c) we are a little but bored and therefore need something to worry about. To top off our power issues one of our gas bottles ran out last night and we spent 2 hours today trying to find a replacement. Penzance is out of stock.
Newlyn is a working fishing port and therefore not tailored to the needs of the yachtsman (and defintely not the yachtswoman). We are yet to locate the showers that Uncle Tom Cunliffe says there should be. Maybe we should have bought the new edition of his book. So we might have to resort to our first showers on board. We are off out for a nice meal tonight so we should probably spruce up a bit.

  1. just to say I am following your travels - with a great deal of jealousy, even if the weather hasn't been as marvellous as you would like. Have you forgotten about work completely now? Hope so!

  2. For showers at Newlyn try at the Seamans mission
