I know I haven't posted for some time, but that does not mean I have not been busy. We are headed away for two weeks on the 27th, so we're working hard to have everything ready.
I have been racing to finish the new dinghy mounting chocks on the foredeck before we go. Today I have the dinghy locked securely in place on the foredeck, but still some things to do. I will post some pics later this week when it is more or less finished. Quite pleased with myself on that one.
Besides that it has been the usual endless list of jobs. I just had the sweet task of unblocking the starboard head - for the second time in a week. Sarah decided to throw a big wad of screwed up paper towels down the head, and it seems to be the gift that keeps on giving; you think it's all cleared and then there's another wad lurking in the vacuum tank that gets sucked into the line and jams it all up. I am soooo happy with Sarah....
I have made the tough decision to head away without a single pot of varnish on board; I will not be doing any brightwork while we are away. Let's see how I handle cold turkey...
