New LED Lights

More nice weather and I spent the morning tidying the cabin and stowing things away ready for sea.

Later I bumped into my teacher Lis and her husband in town. We had a quick coffee and then we returned to the marina and I showed them round the boat.

Back to work and I revisit the AquaSignal light. The WD40 has done it's job and the light easily comes apart. The conventional filament bulbs are removed and replaced by new LED light clusters. In the tricolour I use the
Bebi Malosi light and in the all round white I use a Plastimo type cluster with a conventional bayonet fitting which I had bought from a Dutch skipper during my short stay in Sines.

The AquaSignal is closed and I climbed up the mast to re-install it. The masthead snap clips are not 100% so I used a lot of electrical tape for extra security.

At 17:00 I caught the lovely little restored tram from it's stop adjacent to the marina. The power unit was built by English Electric in 1912 and the cab was recently restored. It plys between the marina and Riazor stadium via
Torre de Hercules and the waterfront for the princely one way fare of €1.00.
