Back in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Hit with a bad post London depression. Odd. Have not experienced anything like it in months. Plenty of time to contemplate a possible photographic contract with my old employer, new cameras, expensive camera equipment, one wet boat, hmmmm. Work on Compromise was slow. Epoxied the wooden vain from the self-steering gear, put in mosquito nets and a small rotating fan over the new stove in the galley. Managed to find a cheap second hand replacement for the old Flavel which I confined to the Marina's ash heap, a pallet just behind the old oil reservoir. Next step, face the engine. . . Call in the mechanic a day before Madrid.
