Final sail before the trip on Saturday. All went well in lively force 6 winds. Fuelled up the diesel when the filler cap chain broke and the cap fell into the sea. In Javelin tradition fashioned a temporary cap from bung and gaffer tape. See the picture. Next morning it was off to the chandellers to try and find a new cap. Good news they had one of the right size. Tried to screw it in and found out by 1 millimetre! Only alternative was to fit a whole new assembly. Lots of hammering and gunk later new cap unit fitted. Other jobs done so all ready to go.

Tera & Jim We'll be sailing vicariously through you as our sailing opportunities have been severely limited recently, wishing you fine winds and 'moderately exciting' adventures! Have Fun, Tera & Jim
Jenny Sorry Peter, just got around to reading the blog. I really enjoyed the sailing with you all on Saturday. Glad you got the filler cap replaced, sounds like a job and a half!
