01/10/24 Tues.  Ana has now made a new sail cover for our mainsail but we need a windless morning to hoist the mainsail, fit the new cover and the reefing lines.

02/10/24 Weds. Moving onto making a new dinghy cover - there is nothing wrong with the old one but Ana said we need a new grey one to match the sail cover!

08/10/24 Tues. Over to the seaplane hangar again today to measure up 3 more sails (from 2 boats) that need repairs - I don't think we will ever get away from here!

11/10/24 Fri.  Ana has almost finished the new bimini for Graeme, our new dinghy cover is on the dinghy.

27/10/24 Sun. Nothing much has changed over the last couple of weeks, we've been over in the seaplane hangar most days with serious repairs to the three sails and a sprayhood clearview screen. Various other 'little' sewing jobs have been thrust onto Ana as well. The weather hasn't been kind to us just lately, with two typhoons up around Luzon causing strong winds and rain here in PP.  I have extended my visa for a further two months but don't want to stay that long, as soon as the sewing jobs are done and the wind settles into north easterlies, we will leave.  A Russian boat wants their sail repaired but they failed to bring it over to the hangar when we told them to, so they've lost their chance for that now.

29/10/24 Tues. Trying to change the clearview material in the sprayhood of Songlines III, but we are having trouble with the machine timing so had to abandon that job and I will try to sort out the problem.

30/10/24 Weds.  Somehow I've hurt my back and it's causing me some grief.  I think it must have been through lifting 120 litres of fresh water onboard yesterday - taking it a little easier today!

31/10/24 Thurs.  A little success with the machine timing but it still isn't right and the job in hand is only partially completed.
