So where was I before rudely interrupted by helpless maidens…
So anyway, I have spent the last few days in a final flurry of preparation before the first of the divers arrive.
Easter is late this year and so is the start of the season. Been fine for me as I spent the start of the year underwater diving for clams which made a good change. Seem to do most of my diving in the winter these days and revert to spectating during the summer.
So anyway, the final flurry. The bank cylinders arrived back from testing ready for re-installation. Each cylinder is a heavy lift for two men (impossible alone). But there is just me, a small hatch, an endless chain and a mast.
It took almost 5 cups of tea to get them down the hatch. There was never a question that they were not going to go. Some things are just going to be and that’s the end of it.
All four went back from whence they had come, were re-plumbed and they didn’t leak. No annoying hiss. Perfect. Cup of tea no 6 was spent in quiet satisfaction of a job well done.
Now I just have to find a place for the new batch of 16 I have just bought.
A good vintage by all accounts.
