All the Gear, No Idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Late up today, a bit of a lie in. The defining wake up moment was a buzz on the phone stating that ‘My delivery would be between 08:41 and 09:41. Very precise and potentially in 15 minutes time. Then, the remembrance that an Engineer was to visit. He was going to come and suck the residual water out of the bilges with a wet\/dry vacuum, spurred us into motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of motion, there is very little on the boat. We are tied off well onto the pontoon and the marina acts like a harbour. There is the occasional sense of motion, when looking at other boats moored next to us, as they move back and forth slightly. It’s nice though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parcel arrived. It was a big box. It was heavy. I left opening it until later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I opened the parcel. The excitement of a pro-level tool (I know, I’m easily pleased) was dashed as, upon opening the box, stroking the superfine Makita<\/a> case, to my horror: the label said Drill! It was the wrong tool – completely. They had sent a drill and not a Multi-Tool – I have drills! It did look like a really good drill but it was not what I wanted and not what I had ordered. I now had all the issue of contacting the company who passed me off onto their Amazon Seller<\/strong> (a seemingly separate part of their company), contacting Amazon<\/a>, waiting… It went on and still does. The upshot was, I had no Multi-tool – No Gear, No Idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It cast a cloud over the whole day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
