Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure
-
-
Paula and I were honoured to be asked by Gaby, the wife of our late friend Andrew McCall, if we would take her out with some friends and family to scatter Andrew's ashes in the Solent. Andrew was the marketing director of The Whitbread Round the World race in the late '90's, so we anchored off what was the start-finish line of the race, and laid him to rest there. It was a simply beautiful day, afterwards, we repaired to a local hotel, sat in the garden and ate lunch looking over where Andrew had been consigned to the deep…..

Yes, Matt @Winchy and Mariana and kids (Alex now 8 and Rosie 6) came to stay yesterday, and we spent late afternoon/evening on Pilgrim - we were delighted that Alex and Rosie loved being on board, I was afraid they'd be scared when the boat rolls about a bit (especially when we get a lot of wash from other boats) but they loved it and started jumping up and down!
The sea was chilly but invigorating. Lots of fun had by all

omg haven't seem matt in ages. think it's been about 5 years. hope they're doing alright

@Madame Buttonfly Thank you Paula! See you next month!!

So the generator on the boat was cutting out after about 5 minutes. I could find no obvious issues, but @Ian72 said that it was most probably a knackered impeller. He very kindly offered to look at it whilst P and I are in US…..
New v old......
Now the poor sod just has to find the missing bits, because they will be in the cooling system somewhere…...

All sorted cleaned the heat exchanger through and all sorted ! Although Giles might be short a can of cider [emoji41]

Paula and I have bought @Alex and Kira over to Cowes for the night. Their joint birthday treat is a meal in a v good restaurant we were introduced to recently and they get to stay in the hotel overnight. P and I will slum it on Pilgrim.
I hope one of these boats wants to leave before us in the morning, that is the only way out
