Update

Feeling a little (lot) anxious. Summer is almost upon us and the boat is nowhere near ready. Gotta prioritise those jobs...

The gasket makers have finished the new oil cooler gaskets, so you can guess what this weekend's job will be.

The pressure relief valve on the hot water cylinder packed up and started spewing water, so I have now replaced it and also plumbed the discharge so it goes back into the water tanks instead of the bilge.

Sharon has sewn up a cushion that was missing from the starboard cabin, which is great, but now there's just the small matter of an entire cockpit's worth of squabs to do before summer...hmm.

Besides that, I need to:

  • Finish off the galley oven installation (bench and varnish).
  • Varnish up all the running rigging blocks.
  • Get the jib down - the self-furler swivel is jammed up.
  • Service all the winches etc
And of course, once the engine is running again I still have to track down the air leak in the fuel lines...
