We went to St Matthew's Church again this morning for the regular All Age service - except that this was with a baptism. As usual it was a fairly full church and a lively service. A very mixed ethnic congregation. Definitely not a 'dead' church.
It was a very wet day and promised to stay that way. hence we drove down to Yiewsley even though the walk would have been good for us!
There were a few more things to sort out this afternoon, such as filling the stern tube greaser and trying out the new pump to empty the secondary bilge sections (there is an automatic bilge pump for the compartment below the stern tube but rain does still get in elsewhere. Whilst the concept of the new rig was right, the pump, being a bilge pump, will not empty a compartment really dry as it needs a couple of centimetres of water to work. Perhaps a Mark II?
Otherwise Christine prepared to leave the boat tomorrow and we did not do a lot!
