Replacing the furling gear did not go well. Four screws refuse to budge.

A walk to the shops and a large screw driver and lump hammer now supplement the tool kit.

Boiling water poured over offending screws, JJ bravely holds bit of 4 x 4 whilst Rog taps screw avec new tools.

No luck so we await Cindy the rigger, Wednesday evening......

Luckily for us, Malcolm was passing thru the metropolis today and looked us up. Due to seemingly sub zero temperatures we de-camped to the Dickens pub for a welcome pint.

Dinner at La Strada avec Helen tonight.
