Den Helder

The weather forecast is not promising and with strong winds and heavy rain overnight I decide to wait a day before proceeding.

Today is the first aniversay of my taking delivery of "Kiriwina". She was 8 years 4 months old at delivery.

I deploy the Brompton and cycle along the waterfront before having a wander around the town. It is not a particularly attractive town with a strong similarity to 60's new towns in Britain.

Later in the afternoon I discover that the cause of the domestic radio failure was a separated fuse-holder in the battery bay. The port settee cushions are now well and truly dry and the washed covers are put back on.
