Per il momento le isole inglesi ci sono piaciute tutte (quelle viste, chiaramente). Sarà il fascino inglese, chissà. Ci svegliamo presto per dirigerci all’ufficio immigrazione. Dietro suggerimento, puntiamo Road Town, sull’isola di Tortola. Finiti gli impegni burocratici, torniamo a bordo per lavorare fino a tarda sera. Domani rimarremo qui per fare spesa e lavatrici, poi ci sposteremo verso Virgin Gorda, paradiso in terra. Tenetevi pronti a visitare le famose isole vergini britanniche direttamente dalla coperta di Julia! ⛵️ A domani Camilla
At one point, we noticed the anchor light wasn’t working. Apparently, after six years the battery was dead. We were able to buy a spare anchor light, and I went up the mast to replace it. The first time, we thought it would be easy—just replace the light or the battery—but it turned out that more work was needed. The anchor light had to be unscrewed and the two wires had to be reconnected in the terminal block. And all of that at 22 meters up, right on top of the mast. After some instructions from Gilles, I went up the mast again, this time bringing tools along in the side pockets of the “chair” (bosun’s chair) in which you’re hoisted up. It worked, and the anchor light was shining brightly again at the top of the mast!
