Popped out today for a mini cruise down to the winding hole and back to turn the boat and charge the batteries a bit. Have spent the week getting a diesel heater fitted to warm the back cabin when the range is not lit, and testing it has taken a bit out of the batteries as I've not moved for a few weeks. 

 

No other boats moving all week up here, but of course as soon as I started winding some inpatient bugger came around the corner.

I did the same at the weekend to test my newly overhauled injectors. However because there was no one about I managed the neatest turn at the winding hole that I have ever managed! :)
