Two days in Dover

Just a briefy

The weather was definitely no go. Lovely sunny days but blowing hard on Thursday and only slightly moderated yesterday

We spent Thursday pottering about on board, mainly addressing the steering issues. The helm had become rather heavy again (a known W33 trait) which is probably why the autohelm had struggled.

We dined ashore 

Lubricating the bearings and cables helped some but the solution appears to have been to put a bit of slack in the steering cables. It feels much better now and we'll see how George copes

Yesterday was spent tinkering with an electronics project using a Raspberry Pi as a data logger interrupted by a wander down to the Dover museum and a late lunch / early dinner in Cullins Yard
