LUE - Life, the Universe and Everything - Anchor Light - Washing

After some lovely sunny days, today is grey and wet, so back to indoor work after all that sanding and varnishing.

Anchor light

 

At night, at anchor, one is obliged by Collision Regulations to show an all round white anchor light. Lady Cate has one on her main mast, which is ideal when anchored at sea and wanting to be seen from far off. But we will also be at anchor when the main mast is down, so I am fitting an anchor light on to the little forward mast. There is a steaming light on the little mast already, for night passage in close waters when the main mast is down. I'm supplying power through a three core cable, the two lights sharing a common return.

There is a plethora of electric cable around Lady Cate. Some is in good order and well labelled. A lot is not. So I'll get a Dymo labeller (if they still exist) to label each cable. (!)




Washing



Strange to wash on a grey day but my cunning wheelhouse drying system works very well. Open side window, fan heater below blowing upwards, hang stuff in the warm flowing air.





Au revoir.
