Home again and as usual time to hose her down, flush the outboard and generally clean up. Only a few days later Pat flew back to England and I need to set about some winter maintainance (as well as attack the neglected garden):
* new sails
*varnish the bright work
*decide how/if to get the centre plate out and then sandblasted, bogged and repainted and find a way to hold the plate down if we capsize (a daunting prospect)
*new mainsheet fitting
*turn a large old mainsail into a boat cover
