Back out on Blue Venture, this time staying out overnight. A few jobs to do, I had a new external plug for the auto-pilot. This was fitted without any problems. I bought a small bracket from amazon designed to support a small flat screen tv. I riveted the mounting plate for my GPS to it and the plan is to have it so that it can swing round and be visible both in the cabin and the cockpit. But I need a soldering iron for the electrics and a couple of bolts to hold the bracket on. I moved the vhf radio so it was more accessible when solo sailing and rigged up a heath robinson hook to grab the mooring line. The no. 2 battery does not appear to be either charging or holding it's charge. I think the later, so I shall get it tested.
