Work starts ...

The Lanterna Hotel has good public rooms and serves a good breakfast. Work though was hard: transferring kit out of Badger into the car and vice versa. Roger started work on repairing the hull damage we’d got last year and Kristin sorted and stowed kit, much handicapped by the forepeak being almost unavailable because of the sails on the bunks.
The hull repairs (in epoxy) went slowly as the hall was quite cold even when Roger used a hot air gun cautiously to speed matters up. He also fitted a new exhaust water injection bend as the old one had rusted a little. This necessitated disturbing the rest of the exhaust system with unfortunate results.
