Week 3 - Sunday - change of plan

At last - sailing in sunshine! However the wind has died down and we are currently down to 2.4 knots ( all in the wrong direction)

Change of plan due to this; we are now heading for Loch Ranza on the north west side of Arran.

Interesting day, as our departure was delayed due to the worsening fuel leak. In the search of the elusive washer we adopted the policy of asking anyone we could find, if they had one!

Lovely people here and eventually we found two engineers doing up their boat; who after much cogitating and searching of bilges, managed to find some fibre washers.

Paul then worked some of his magic on them with a pair of scissors and the leak is now fixed!

The hunt for proper washers continues but at least we are ok for the moment.
