Delfzijl 2 Days

Wednesday 2nd August.
An early start to get on with the drying out job arising from the sea preparation malfunction yesterday.
All port lockers and storage in the main cabin and galley are emptied. The port settee cushions are removed and stripped of their covers which are cold water washed on the "woolen" program in the excellent marina laundry. They are then dried on low heat.
Fortunately the water ingress looked worse than it turned out to be. The lockers are soon dried out and cleaned and there seems to be no material damage to the contents.
I pay a visit to "Aurelia" where Joseph is trying to sort out the cooling water problem on his engine. He has stripped it right down and there appears to be nothing obviously faulty.
Later I walk into town and get a haircut. Very pleased with the result.
Wednesday 2nd August.
I spend the morning repacking the port lockers and drying the settee cushion covers. I will leave the cushions for a few days to make sure they dry properly.
The domestic radio is not working. The fault is not apparent and I cannot get the radio working. I hope it is not an equipment failure the radio is only 6 months old.
By mid afternoon all else is pretty well ship shape and "Kiriwina" is ready to proceed tomorrow morning.
Joseph on "Aurelia", with help from some locals, has got his cooling system sorted out and is ready also. We agree to proceed in convoy with an early start.
