Got an early start and had a coffee and omelette in me before the Wharf's Office had opened. The priority was to replace the electrical plug that had suffered an amperage overload from an electrical heater the night before last.
Almost at the strike of 9:00 before getting started at my electrical task there was a knock at the entranceway. It was the lad from the office. He asked if we could move Makina further along the dock to accommodate a 40 footer that was expected along shortly.
We moved Makina to a front row seat and then moved my neighbour behind me as well.
We then went up to the office to square up my tab for the rest of the weekend. He said he would take off the electrical surcharge as a thanks for helping him move the boats around. Not sure how much that amounted to, yet it seemed very thoughtful on his part.
Once back on Makina it was time to put on my electrician's hat. First step was to get the old blown plug removed...
And then the new one installed...
Bringing the power back up the microwave was now operational as well as the plugs down circuit from it. Mission success!
By about 14:00 all that electrical work had me a little tired so retired to the forward V Berth for some nappies.
Awoke around 16:00.
For a day claiming highs of 23C it sure did not feel it. There was a cold wind coming from the west which was turning it into sweater weather. Cranked up the diesel heater to put some cozy into the cabin and headed up to Foodland for some supplies.
Upon my return Makina had comfortably warmed up. Spent the rest of the afternoon playing Ashes of Creation. My new character is coming along nicely. Looking forward to a party session with my Daughter and Son-In-Common-Law which we talked about yesterday.
A nice mix of work and play today. My feeling is that this evening will be more on the playing end of the spectrum. ☺️
