Ahoy,
so after resting for a couple of days I donned my wet suit and despite being in a Marina took to the water to check the prop. As I had feared it had been fouled, luckily not by fishing net or rope but heavy duty polythene sheeting. After repeatedly diving down, trying not to taste too much of the water, I had removed it all. This would have contributed towards the engine overheating and having reduced power. Unfortunately there is still the problem with the rings on one of the pistons, I am sure the issue can be resolved at some point.
On a very positive note, Jeppesen are going to provide me with free digital charts for a year, an amazing offer and much appreciated.
In set is a picture of me after a delightful lunch with Mike and Jane from Muhuhu a couple of red ensign boaties, thanks for lunch it was a real treat.
The Ol' Girl and me will be heading south in a few days, towards the end of the world as it is imaginatively called. Maybe Camarinas will be the next port of call .
