2009ĭuring winter time I have done a lot of wooden work in the cockpit, by stripping her down to the bare wood and finishing her with varnish and oil.Įngine got a good check and the primary filter changed…surprise surprise, there was more water and rust in the filter than diesel, no wonder that I had problem with the engine stopping and starting! I am looking forward to do some work on her and to next spring when I am sure I will enjoying sailing her.

Now is the time were she is ready to go ashore for wintertime. Apparently there was water or dirt in the fuel tank, so the engine enjoyed itself in stopping now and then. When we woke up on Saturday morning at 05:00 it was raining and the wind was south-west!ĭue to the time constraints we did quite some hours of motoring. Question of time (this is the rush for doing it in one day) and light (this is the rush for doing it in 13 hours). We had a 70 miles trip in front of us to be sailed between 6:30 a.m and 7:30 p.m. This would have been quite good since we had to sail south-westerly. At last I got Solitude to her final harbour… It was a couple of weekends ago where the meteo was promising north-easterly and sunshine. It goes with it that the propeller shaft and other connected items had to be replaced not to talk about some sea cocks that were as old as the boat itself. The checks and repairs turned out to be that someone had ripped-off the stern tube, so a new one had to be installed.
