Very busy for the last 48 hours. We went on the hard via a slipway on Thursday and had the dings in the gel coat repaired and while we were out changed anodes and applied new bottom paint to all leading edges and the water line and did some general buffing and polishing.
On Friday the bow thruster parts finally came and it took about two hours to replace the brushes and springs and the solenoid and control unit.
The thruster now works as new and we got launched at 1400h in 20 kts and major rain. We took on some fuel and went back to the dock but there was no space on a pontoon with a walk way to shore.
Fortunately, a brand new Amel 55 straight from La Rochelle arrived and after a boat tour and a few bottles of red, they launched their dinghy and we went ashore for a nice last night on the town.
We are just stowing and securing for sea and doing some last minute shopping and it's off at about 1400H with the tide.
Next stop Limehouse Basin Marina on Monday
