Fixing up the soft spots that the surveyor found. Frustratingly we have found a leak around the port side mounting block for the mizzen running back stay which has allowed water down and rotted out a patch in the top most plank under the bulwarks right at the aft end of the boat. As Rick did not notice it when the transom was completely rebuilt I am hoping it is very localised. This will be at least a few days work to fix and we don't have time before we splash, so the transom is staying unvarnished and we will do the repairs at the slip. I then get to varnish the transom from the dinghy, a crappy job but one I got practice at in Newport Beach.
