The trousers n stuff
Mobile Blogging from here.

This is what is left of my trousers. The inner seams gone, most of the outer seams gone. They offer as much protection from the sea as a spatula.
Anyway it wasn't all about the trousers. I have the following jobs list to get sorted in Cork
1) wet gear
2) ballast pump air lock
3) fix electric bilge pump( would have been nice to have while ballast leaking)
4) numerous leaks. Mainly where people installed stuff for me and did not use a sealant
5) batteries. Here is an interesting one. With all my fancy charging gear I cannot get my service batteries fully charged. My alternator and smart regulator pump in 40 plus amps to start with. This then drops off quickly. Anyone got any thoughts on this please post a comment

Dear Paul
I have just watched Pip re-start on the tracker and spoke to her this morning but now read that you have made that horrible decision to retire. I am so sorry for I know how well prepared you were and what a great boost it was to Pip to have someone else preparing alongside her in the Suffolk Yacht Harbour.
Really sorry - best wishes - Mary (Pip's Mum)
