The Next Adventure

With our first coastal trip for this year a resplendent success we are now looking forward to our next big adventure and our first proper holiday of the year at the end of next month.

For the last week in May we plan to make our annual pilgrimage to Wells next the Sea, on the North Norfolk coast. 

We make this trip every year during the same week, yet it is a place we will never tire of. It was the location of our first ever trip at sea, way back in 2010 and every year it continues to be a place we love to visit. We have some very fond memories of Wells.

But as always before we head out there are one or two items which need some attention. This year, thanks to our mammoth session ashore we don't have too much to take care of, it is just little odds and sods of jobs. Firstly is a major engine service to include changing the oil and filter, changing the fuel filters, changing the impellor, fitting a new crank case filter, changing the supercharger oil and changing all four belts as well as replacing the trim ram fluid. We would have liked to have done this before we went to Kings Lynn earlier this month but time was not on our side. 

The other jobs we need to sort out are quite annoyingly jobs which should have been sorted as we have replaced parts with yet more faulty parts. The hot water element is faulty and needs to be replaced yet again which as I'm sure you will remember was a job easier said then done. The other annoying little job is replacing the shower hose in the shower room as this is also faulty and leaking from a supposedly sealed joint. Again this involves cutting out the sink to gain access to the faulty item. These jobs won't cost anything but are more of an annoyance factor.

Of course the one job we will have to do before we set out is refueling, again. It is a never ending round of visits to the fuel berth at this time of year, not helped by the fact that we started the year with a pretty empty tank as we had spent so long ashore with the heating on!

We shouldn't complain however our list of jobs to do is nowhere near as long as some of our friends lists. We can almost see the end in sight with our list!
