A few more tweaks - 2nd December 2020

 Finally got round to running the tv aerial through to the master bedroom fed by mains amplifier, also put the Oceanair blackout/fly net scroll blind to the Bomer Hatch. Then replaced the pencil anodes in the heat exchangers just in time as the ones fitted in May 20 had almost disintegrated.

 Perfect day for the run up to Hamble Point for Desty Marine to sort the patio doors damaged when we were broken into back in July.  So just five months on from being launched post the lock down we were going ashore a day before the second lock down.
