Shore poweeeeeeeer.

There is a work boat near the boat yard I’m in that’s being refitted, and the guys keep using beefy power tools which trip the breakers. The breakers are in a locked cabin to which I don’t have the keys. It tripped out this evening, and nobody is around to switch it back on.

I’m sat here in the cold with nothing other than the inverter to power the laptop. I could murder a heater! Oh well, I have enough juice to power the laptop and the stereo for the night, and a curry on the the stove which will warm me up. It didn’t help that I got soaked earlier while checking a boat we put in the water this afternoon wasn’t sinking since it was taking on water when I left it, albeit slowly. I went back once the tide had ebbed, but it was in a deep channel, so I get drenched walking out to it. All turned out to be sound in the end though.

I’ve had too drenchings today. The first was a sudden downpour in a thunderstorm, and then the wading. I’ve totally ran out of dry clothes.
