The self righting bag looks like it has a case of the chicken pocks!

This morning when I awoke it was snowing lightly but the wind had calmed to nothing. We have been needing to take the jet boat out for servicing so Matt and I pounced on the opportunity. We cleaned the turbos (lots of smoke!) on the engine and a few small jobs while we waited for the tide to rise. After pulling her out we set to work straight away on servicing the self righting bag which like the other boat had lots of bubbles in the hypalon and unfortunately is also quite damp inside the tube. The anchor locker checks, engine ventilation system, annual jet unit servicing, normal 4 monthly jet unit servicing, repair of some damage to the hard sponsons – as usual the list of jobs on boats seems endless.

The day turned into one of the most beautiful SG days so far it seems spring is finally here. So taking the opportunity I jumped on my skis packed up my lunch and headed over to do a loop of Grytviken. I stopped for lunch and sat on the cementry fence next to Ernest Shackleton’s grave. What a stunning view he had today.

Back to the boatshed for more boat maintenance, the gym, dinner and a movie as it is wednesday night.
