Are we really Ready ?
Well, of course we are not. We are still in the '100 Club' !!! according to the list of jobs still outstanding.
A list that reduces and then increases in the blink of an eye. B is making sure we leave absolutely nothing to chance whereas P is inclined to err on the side of 'she'll be right on the night, or day'.
B decides we need more anchors and chain and high load shackles for joining said chain, so that involves another series of forays into deepest industrial South Auckland.
As a result we now have 5 anchors and half mile of chain and rope warps. We agree anchors are to the cruising yacht what oxygen is to a diver and given we cannot control the varied conditions we will be anchoring in its a no brainer to be prepared for the worst katabatic winds. With this extra kit aboard Musketelle is now starting to settle distinctly down on the waterline we had only adjusted during the March haulout.
