Well we’re moored up on the outskirts of Trowbridge on the
Biss aqueduct with the intention of staying a few days to complete some repairs
(it’s a 14 day limit here). The oil pressure sensor problem seems to have been
repaired by Spencer at The Boatyard at Hilperton although we still have a
problem with the engine temperature sensor but at least with that one it will
become obvious if the problem lies in the engine as it will start to overheat.
The repairs that I’m hoping to complete is the replacement of
the ventilation mushroom that was ripped off by the rope on the River Avon. The
delaying facto at the moment is the weather which has been either strong winds,
rain or both since we got here. The forecast for tomorrow looks promising so
hoping to get the repairs done then.
Will remain here until Thursday as I have Blood donor appointment on Wednesday in
Trowbridge after which we’ll be heading back to Bradford on Avon.
