Plans, to restore Stargazer's onboard electricity supply, soon suffer their first setback. With the arbitrary cancellation of our amazon.fr order, by the supplier, this morning.
Cue further scurrying about, on foot phone and internet, to fill the voltage void in Stargazer's battery box.
The outcome of which is placement of a third on-line order. That included an option, which I ticked, for express delivery by DPD. Only time will tell if this is 'third time lucky,' or a(nother) Google ghost victory.
Suffice it to say, that today's squalls have not all been of Erin's making. Although the silver lining, within her scudding clouds, is that Stargazer is losing no sailing time, during her skipper’s battery buying battles; and that Cherbourg is well placed, both to provide shelter and to source spares.
