It is frustrating for both of us but we're trying to stay positive. At least the sun is shining and the view is good.

Engine failure
Despite the weather being perfect today we ain't going anywhere. As we set off this morning the engine cut out. Not what you want in a busy marina. We thought at first that it might just be a fluke so restarted it and motored out of the marina. But it happened again and we headed back in. We can't work out what the problem is, maybe a blockage in the fuel system or even a dodgy fuel pump. It's time to consult the experts. We spoke to Bob the yard manager and despite being incredibly busy he is going to get someone to have a look at it for us. So for now it's a waiting game.

Hi you two. We are so enjoying the blog, don't worry about the failures, frustrating though they are. Its all part of it and yours are entirely normal so far. We always said ok, its not going to plan but something good and unexpected will turn up because of it, and it often did. Good choice on not going when the weather makes it uncomfortable too. We arrived back in Southampton this morning via the Queen Mary 2 after eight years away and were lucky enough to get invited to the bridge. Guess what, one engine was playing up and so was one of the radars, just like us! (Mind you they have 4 engines and 5 radars so no big deal to them).
