Rather a late departure after spending more time investigating a battery charging problem. I started to look at this yesterday when it seemed that the Adverc unit was not doing its job properly. After other checks I phoned Adverc yet again and just as they were arranging to send a trial replacement unit and diodes, it all started to work properly. Anyway they are still sending the spare parts, hopefully arriving tomorrow at Eyemouth.

After leaving we sailed slowly to allow some fishing (not successful) and then sailed slowly to ensure we did not arrive at low water.

| Eyemouth: Looks tight but we have not reached the narrow bit yet |
We watched a 2 masted sailing ship being manhandled up the narrow channel to the boatyard. Very tricky and great entertainment for the onlookers. You would hesitate to take a normal small yacht up this channel, so the ship was completely filling the channel and the yards were breaking bits off the trees.
