It is fixed

The pesky part arrived this morning. It comes as no surprise to me that the process of diagnosis and repair is a slow one. We had the issue identified relatively quickly but the resolution took a day longer than might have been had it just been the o-ring.

But Jan, Eckhardt and Paul worked cheerfully this morning to achieve a very desirable thunk of the gear into place. And this time it held beautifully.

So now we just need to make a plan for where we should go. Weather is looking a little ominous around Italy so we may wait until it clears a little and leave early tomorrow.

    A good thunk must have been very satisfying. Photos are great, I liked, the one of what I guess is Mt Etna. And the canal did look a little like Venice without the gondolas and medieval bridges.
    All good; hopefully back to Spot tomorrow, weather permitting.
