Timing is everything

 Yesterday was a day of sunshine and showers.

It was also the day we had to get a pump out and have the engine serviced.

Our spot in the marina is on a very short jetty.

Most of the time this isn't a problem though it does mean I can't clean the windows outside.

It also make it difficult for the engineer to access the engine bay.

Because of this we needed to move on to the service jetty which is near the pump out.

It was chucking it down when we got up but by the time we'd had breakfast and got the boat ready it had stopped raining.

We had a pump out and then moved to the service jetty, we had a couple of hours before the engineer was due so I washed all the windows on the port side, the starboard ones will have to wait.

I then went out for a couple of hours with Beano so he didn't get in the way.

He is very nosy and I was worried he'd fall in the engine bay.

As I set off home it was raining but by the time I arrived it was sunny again and the engineer was just packing up as he had finished working on our boat.

We  moved the boat back to our usual spot and had just finished tying up and putting the covers up when the heavens opened and it poured down yet again.

Through sheer good luck we managed the day without getting soaked to the skin though it was very windy, which makes the boat difficult to manoeuvre in a small space.
