Day 5: Last of the prep / The Mouseboat

We're leaving the marina tomorrow so it's the last day of preparation. Main job today was to tackle some of the things the survey came up with. This needed a bit of interpretation - some of the points were actually not there, but I went over some of the issues. This was mainly double-clamping certain hoses; the fuel line and some of the through-hulls. I'm happy we covered most of them. Biggest snag today was when I went to get a new cereal packet. That bloody mouse got there first. It's clearly still on the boat. I sat the cats down and explained to them that we all have our jobs to do and we're a little short of bait for the crab pot if, say, certain members of the crew were not pulling their weight. Anyway, Barry & Jennifer dropped in (with cake!) and they were kind enough to get us a mousetrap. It's primed and in the hole. I'm now waiting for the 'snap'. Soon, I hope. Just washing / drying the sheets so that we start the trip with them nice and clean. We'll probably eat at the Ramada tonight for tomorrow we're off. Yes!

Last days of civilisation.
