We decided on a day off after several long days of cruising and with our Beta 43 engine due it’s 250 hour service it seemed like a good idea to stay put. While I was warming the engine up Carolyn took Hamish for a walk and found a hedge full of wild Gooseberries. She had to come back to the boat and get some gloves due to the amount of thorns ,but soon returned with enough to make a lovely Gooseberrie crumble.. Yum yum…
It was only an oil and filter change on this service as it had the gearbox oil, fuel and air filter changed on the last service.
It’s amazing how different the engine sounds after doing just an oil change and also the oil pressure is higher on tick over and at 1200 revs which is our normal cruising speed. A good and satisfying job done . With a few other jobs done on Inca it will be an early start tomorrow when we tackle the 19 locks of the Lapworth flight
Happy Days
Your bilge looks so clean and sparkly!
