Wake up temperature dropped to around 44°F this morning with hazy sun. We struggled up to around 55°F by mid afternoon, but there was a cool breeze.
Lyn decided to give the morning craft group a miss as she knew they would all be doing a craft that she was not interested in.
We have extended our walking time to as far as we can go in the campground without doubling back on ourselves, about 25 minutes.
There seems to be an unwritten rule between us that, if it is sunny out, we will eat lunch outside. Today was classed as sunny and although the temperature was in the mid 50’s the wind made it a lot cooler. See we suffer from wind chill down here as well! It was a very quick lunch.
After lunch Lyn headed out to our old campground for their afternoon crafts session, and I decided to get a couple more small jobs finished, this place is like a cottage, there is always something else that needs to be done.
Now we have maxed out walking within the campground it was time to fix up the bikes. Unfortunately they are both over 25 years old, and showing their age, but they still work! First order of business was to remove the flat spots from the tyres, this was easily done by pumping some air into them. Next some lubrication on the chains and gear changers and we should be good to go.
Next problem, that had been bugging me for a while was the roof vent above the bathroom. This is a small (14 x 14) opening in the roof that hinges up to allow fresh air in. Unfortunately if you leave it up when the rain comes, a second shower is created in the bathroom. To over come this problem a cover was installed over the flap, so now fresh air can circulate even when it is pouring down outside. Since I installed this cover, there has been a problem with closing the flap fully, it catches on the inside of the cover, this means that the flap is left open about half an inch. Not a really big deal, more of an annoyance, but if we are going to tackle Alaska next year we might be glad of all the insulation we can get! I managed to identify where the obstruction is, but needed a second pair of hands to assist. Work for another day!
