We enjoyed a warm spell as we set to work getting Deja Vu ready for the 2013 season.

The propeller had not been set up correctly last year, so Mo stripped, cleaned and greased it and assisted with the very technical reassembly required to set the pitch just right.

The heads needed some attention, so new hoses were fitted.

A new solar panel was wired in and what a challenge that was! Sunbeam are very good at making wiring changes very difficult and it was a triumph of lateral thinking that brought success to that project. The new panel is flexible so it is likely to be mounted in a variety of places to give us the trickle battery charge that we need .

A visit to Kod Guste and Josos, meeting up with friends John and Paul, made the 4 working days very enjoyable and productive!
