Well we are now back at Debdale! We enjoyed our couple of days in Market
Harbourough, a nice little town and as well as doing some shopping we managed
to get the bikes serviced. Yesterday
afternoon we decided to move on back towards Debdale as we were in need of a
pump out. As we set off some very
strange squealing noise and smoke was coming from the engine room. All to do with the fan belt apparently. Which a bit further on broke! Thankfully the engine is water cooled but not
from the fan belt so we were able to keep going the engine was fine. What is did mean though is that as the alternator
was not now turning we were no longer generating electric for our domestic
use. Fridge, lights and the all
important water pump to supply the taps.
So this morning we set off early for the final run
into Debdale. We have a separate starter
battery so that was ok. We are now
moored in the marina and back on mains electric and hoping the new fan belt
will soon arrive. We have ordered 2 so
that in future we will carry a spare! We
live and learn.
